Once again, I would like to thank all the authors, readers, and editorial board members for another successful year for the Journal of Yeungnam Medical Science (JYMS) in 2023. JYMS would not be where it is today without the dedication of the reviewers, who have put considerable time and effort into assessing the manuscript and supporting the authors with helpful suggestions. Reviewer devotion is always an essential part of the editorial process, and we are appreciative of all those who participated this year.
There was good news about JYMS in 2023. JYMS was finally accepted for indexing in Scopus (March 11, 2023) [1]. In addition, JYMS was accepted into the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) (September 20, 2023) [2]. The coverage in Scopus and ESCI begins with journal content published in JYMS, Volume 39 Issue 1, 2022. JYMS is currently indexed in the two databases.
JYMS published 95 articles in 2023, of which 82 (86.3 %) were by Korean authors, and 13 (13.7%) were by authors from 11 foreign countries (Fig. 1). Bibliometric statistics for the total citations are presented in Fig. 2 and Supplementary Table 1. Readership has expanded to 173 countries in 2023, according to access statistics (Fig. 3). The total number of citations has increased continuously. In 2023, JYMS was cited 381 times in the Crossref Metadata, 307 times in Scopus, and 313 times in the Web of Science Core Collection. The manually calculated impact factor in the Web of Science increased from 0.29 in 2020 to 1.29 in 2023 (137 citations/106 documents from 2021 to 2022; calculated on January 2, 2024). The CiteScore manually calculated by Scopus increased from 0.21 in 2020 to 0.93 in 2023 (235 citations/253 documents from 2020 to 2023; calculated on January 2, 2024). The overall acceptance rate for submitted manuscripts decreased from 55.1% in 2020 to 26.7% in 2023 (calculated on January 2, 2024).
JYMS is continuously growing towards becoming a prestigious journal in general medicine. To achieve this, the editorial board of JYMS will invite active researchers from all over the world as reviewers in 2024.
Below are the names and affiliations of the reviewers for 2023. The editorial board would like to thank the reviewers again for their contributions and would appreciate their ongoing interest and support in 2024.
