Reputable Journals in Bioinformatics

• Bioinformatics Related Journals
  • Bioinformatics The 2003 ISI Science Journal Citation Reports have just been published. Bioinformatics now has an Impact Factor of 6.701 rising from 4.615 - an increase of more than 45%! Bioinformatics is now ranked: NUMBER 1 in Computer Science, Interdisciplinary Applications; NUMBER 1 in Mathematics, Interdisciplinary Applications and Probability; NUMBER 3 in Biochemical Research Methods; NUMBER 6 in Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology.
  • Journal of Computational Biology Impact factors of this journal for 2003 is 4.6.
  • BMC Bioinformatics
  • Briefings in Bioinformatics
  • Protein Science
  • Protein Engineering, Design and Selection In January 2004, the journal Protein Engineering was relaunched as Protein Engineering, Design and Selection, or PEDS. PEDS publishes papers relevant to the engineering, design and selection of proteins for use in biotechnology and therapy, and for understanding fundamental properties of activity, stability, folding, misfolding and disease.
  • Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics Proteins: Structure, Function, and Genetics is becoming Proteins: Structure, Fun ction, and Bioinformatics. This GB mutation reflects both a change in the profil e of the papers we now publish, and an intent to attract even more papers in the areas of bioinformatics and genomics to Proteins. In the past year we have adde d Andy Baxevanis and Philip E. Bourne to the editorial board, and additional app ointments to strengthen the board in this area are planned. In addition, organiz ational changes planned for Proteins will serve to attract genomics and bioinfor matics manuscripts, and to make them more visible.

  • Journal of Biomedical Informatics (JBI) Impact factors of this journal for 2003 is 0.86.
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine The Impact Factor for 2003 is 1.222.
  • Machine Learning
  • Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR) JMLR has an ISI 2003 impact factor rating of 4.317, which is the second highest rating of journals in artificial intelligence. The ISI impact factor is the numb er of citations in 2003 to JMLR papers from 2001 and 2002 divided by the number of 2001 and 2002 JMLR papers. The acceptance rate to date is 27%.
  • Nature Genetics The 2003 impact factor for Nature Genetics is 26.494, according to the ISI Journal Citation Reports. This places Nature Genetics. first out of 120 journals in the field of genetics and heredity.
  • Nature Biotechnology The 2003 impact factor for Nature Biotechnology is 17.721, according to the ISI Journal Citation Reports. Nature Biotechnology therefore ranks second out of 132 journals in the category of biotechnology and applied microbiology, and first among primary research journals in this field.
  • Nature Cell Biology The 2003 impact factor for Nature Cell Biology is 20.268, according to ISI Journal Citation Reports. The 2003 impact factor represents the number of citations in 2003 to papers published in 2001 and 2002, divided by the total number of papers published in 2001 and 2002.
