Project Management Journal® has an impact!

The new impact factor metrics from Thompson Reuters are out. Project Management Journal® received a 2-year Impact Factor of 1.765 and a 5-year Impact Factor of 2.031, respectively. Last year, the 2-year Impact Factor was 1.14 and just passed the 1.0 threshold. In the years before it was below 1.0. In addition, we have nearly tripled the number of submissions to more than 500 per year since I became Editor-in-Chief in 2013. We are increasing the number of published articles per year, from 36 in 2013 to approximately 50 in 2016. Our strategy is to contribute to the development of project management research and, in particular, to shape the themes and quality of this research and increase its dissemination.
