Measuring the Impact of Articles Published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry: July 1, 2017-June 30, 2018

With this perspective, the editorial leadership of the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry (AJGP), in consultation with the managing editor at Stellarmed (David Newcombe) and publisher at Elsevier (Josh Spieler), is initiating a new annual feature, reporting measures of impact for articles coming out during each 12-months period (July 1-June 30), the “medical year.” Our goal is to review the conventionally accepted bibliometric analyses demonstrating the domains of geriatric mental health science published in the AJGP and attracting the greatest number of citations (used in the calculation of impact factors), and to consider other relevant m easures of reach and influence, such as number of downloads recorded in Science Direct, and altmetric scores reflecting activity on social media (such as Facebook and Twitter).
