The year 2015 was a terrific year for CNS Spectrums: our first impact factor based on content generated following the transition of the journal to Cambridge University Press and my appointment as editor-in-chief nearly doubled to 2.71 and early indications are that it will go even higher in 2016. Downloads of our articles are exploding and we are getting higher and higher quality manuscripts every day. In 2015 we published several high impact thematic issues for which we owe special thanks to a number of guest editors including:
-
- our second special issue on violence (Guest editor Katherine Warburton)
-
- antidepressants and pregnancy (Guest editors Patrick Finley and Luann Brizendine)
-
- pediatric neuroimaging (Guest editors Susan Carnell, Karen Seymour and Robert Findling)
-
- binge eating disorder (Guest editor Valerie Voon)
-
- obsessive compulsive disorder (compilation of submitted articles)
Already our articles are generating record numbers of downloads and early citations. Clearly CNS Spectrums is “on the move.”
Credit for our progress goes in large part to our editorial board, our reviewers and our field editors. All three of these groups have expanded notably in the past year, with kudos for lots of hard work and behind-the-scenes editing work especially by our incredible field editors, Carlos Zarate, Thomas Schlaepfer, Joseph Goldberg, deputy editor Tom Schwartz and newly appointed translational neuroscience field editor, Frank Tarazi. They are the workhorses of CNS Spectrums and deserve special thanks. In addition, they received the invaluable services of many reviewers during 2015, and these names are listed below.
Finally, we acknowledge the significant support of our publisher, Cambridge University Press and our with great credit due to, Lisa Arrington, managing editor and the heartbeat of CNS Spectrums, as well as her boss, Ann Avouris, our Senior Editor and the brains and visionary of CNS Spectrums. I look forward to the exciting developments that are already rolling out for our journal in 2016 and beyond and invite you all to submit your important work to our journal.
