>>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.
