The Institute of Scientific Information has just released the 2008 IF of scientific journals. Confirming the trend observed in the previous years, Clinical Nutrition increased its IF, reaching a fantastic 3.203 from last year’s 2.878! This achievement highlights the leading role of ESPEN in the scientific arena of clinical nutrition research, and is a confirmation of the excellent job done by the Editor-in-Chief, prof. Deutz, who is leading a “magic” team of associate editors, reviewers and editorial collaborators.
