In June of this year the new Journal Citation Reports®, containing the 2008 Impact Factors, were released by Thomson Reuters.  According to Thomson Reuters the journal performance metrics offer a systematic, objective means to critically evaluate the world’s leading journals.  They also help to determine a publication’s impact and influence in the global research community. 

For the first time since its launch in 2007 International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control www.elsevier.com/locate/ijggc has been included in the JCR Science edition, with the journal receiving an impressive first Impact Factor in 2008 of 1.646.  The journal is ranked in 3 leading categories, namely Energy&Fuels (ranked 23rd of 67 journals listed), Engineering, Environmental (12th of 38) and Meteorology&Atmospheric Sciences (29th of 52).

Papers published in International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control were cited by papers in leading science and engineering journals such as Industrial&Engineering Chemistry Research, Energy & Fuels, Energy, Energy Conversion and Management, Environmental Science & Technology, Energy Policy, Journal of the American Chemical Society, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy and many others.

The journal editors, editorial board members, referees and authors are to be warmly congratulated on this terrific achievement.
