Thanks for pointing out the hyperlink...

This is indeed a somewhat sad number, but your career should not in any way
become declining or miserable because of it!

If you really have a very nice structure of something interesting try NSB
(10.4). Remember that increasingly biologically relevant structures are
published in journals like Cell or Nature or
(large-group-of-journals-which-are-also-read)

Hi, everyone:

       Recently, I have solved a structure and intended to submit it to a
top journal.  STRUCTURE come in my mind which is famous in  structural
biology in past few years.  But, when I searched the impact factor on the
website http://impactfactor.ifrance.com/impactfactor/, I found its impact
factor was only 1.975 in 2002. It made me a great shock that such a good
journal has so little factor. What's the matter with STRUCTURE?  What's
happened on structural biology?  Are there few people willing to cite
structural paper or this subject has losted its fascination and go out of
fashion. I am a newman in crystallography and there is long way to go. It is
a misery to give one's life on a declining career. Who can tell me what
happend on STRUCTURE?  Is there any internal story in it?  I just knew its
ownership had been changed.

  Thanks in advance,


Xiang
