Strong growth in Hindawi's Impact Factors

Press Release
July 28, 2008

Hindawi Publishing Corporation has once again seen solid growth 
in the Impact Factors of its journals, according to the 2007 
Journal Citation Report. Hindawi has nine journals that were 
included in the previous Journal Citation Report, and the average 
Impact Factors of these journals rose by more than 14%. In 
addition, five of Hindawi's journals received Impact Factors for 
the first time this year.

"I am very pleased by the growth that we have seen in the Impact 
Factors of our journals, since Impact Factors are one of the most 
widely used measures of a journal's quality" said Mohamed Hamdy, 
Hindawi's Editorial Manager. "While Impact Factors may not be a 
perfect metric for evaluating a journal, the growth that we have 
seen is an encouraging sign that our journals are further 
establishing themselves in their respective fields."

In addition to the fourteen Hindawi journals that currently have 
Impact Factors, three more titles are scheduled to receive their 
first Impact Factor next year, and many more titles are currently 
under review.
