Yesterday, Clarivate has announced the Journal Citation Report for 2024. I have collated the JIF of the majority of Orthopedic related journals, for a quick reference. Do check the journals of your interest.
Overall, there have been no significant change in the JIFs from the last year, in most of the journals, indicating to the waning effect of COVID-19 surge and the process of 'normalization' now.
The journals with a high Journal Impact Factor (JIF) tend to fall into a few categories:
Firstly, specialized sub-discipline journals often show high impact. Examples from the top list include "Journal of Orthopaedic Translation," "Arthroscopy," "Knee Surgery Sports Trauma Arthroscopy," and "Spine Journal." These journals focus on niche areas within orthopaedics, allowing for a concentrated and highly relevant body of work that attracts significant citations from within and related fields.
Secondly, established and reputable broad-scope orthopaedic journals also maintain high JIFs. Examples like "Bone & Joint Research," "Bone & Joint Journal," "Am J Sports Med," "Cl Orthop Rel Res," and "J Bone Joint Surg (Am)" demonstrate sustained influence across wider segments of orthopaedic research and clinical practice due to their long-standing reputation, rigorous peer review, and comprehensive coverage.
