Global Spine Journal Impact Factor goes up to 2.6
Top articles and exciting updates for 2024
We have already made it halfway through the year, and we are excited to share the top articles of the year so far as well as updates on GSJ for the year.
The Editors of Global Spine Journal are thrilled to announce the 2023 impact factor of 2.6, which is an increase from the previous year's 2.4. The five year Impact Factor is 3.2.
GSJ has now moved into the 1st quartile for the 'Orthopaedics' category and the 2nd quartile for the 'Clinical Neurology' category.
We would like to thank all of you for your support—we could not have done this without our authors, reviewers, and our readers and we are excited to see GSJ continue to progress.
The annual GSJ Awards for the Top 2 Reviewers and Top 2 Papers of 2023 were presented by the Editors-in-Chief Jeff Wang, Jens Chapman, and Karsten Wiechert at the Global Spine Congress in Bangkok, Thailand. The winners for Best Reviewers awards are Luca Ambrosio and Akihiko Hiyama. And the recognition for the Best Papers were awarded to:
