EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, JTO ON 2023 IMPACT FACTOR

Alex A. Adjei, MD, PhD, FACP

"JTO's impact factor for 2023 has risen to 21, making it only the second respiratory journal (after Lancet Respiratory Medicine) with an impact factor above 20. More importantly, it is the only thoracic oncology journal with an impact factor greater than 10. This is a notable achievement since we are a sub-specialty journal dealing with only thoracic oncology. There are no other sub-specialty journals among the top 20 oncology journals, and we now rank 13th  out of 322 oncology journals.  This achievement is a testament to the exemplary work of our editorial board and our editorial office, as well as the support of IASLC—its executives, office staff, membership, and above all, our reviewers, readers, and authors. JTO will continue its emphasis on multidisciplinary research to serve the broad community working in thoracic oncology."
