JCBS: Journal Impact Factor Announcement
I am so proud to announce the Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science (JCBS) 2018 Journal Impact Factor of 1.890! A 55% increase from our first Impact Factor of 1.216, this indicates that articles published by JCBS in 2016 and 2017 were cited an average of 1.8 times in 2018. This, combined with the increases in the number of submissions along with diversity of topics, authors, and methodologies, makes me confident that JCBS’ impact will continue to grow.
