This was reported in a press statement by the academy - a professional institution of medical and dental specialists - on July 1.
The Annals - which scored 2.47 in the previous annual ranking - now belongs to the first quartile of medical journals worldwide. The Lancet, another medical journal, was ranked second last year but moved up to first position this year. "More clinicians and researchers are making the Annals their first port of call, for research insights that guide their clinical practice. The Annals continues to play an important role supporting clinical and research excellence in our healthcare institutions," he added.
Brilliant! Keep up the good work
