Annual Review of Biochemistry Vol 80 Now Available Online

Annual Reviews Continues to Publish High Impact Reviews: Year after year, Annual Reviews journals earn some of the highest Impact Factors in the Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports (JCR). This ranking system is based on the average number of times the articles within a journal are cited in the previous two years. In the recently released 2010 JCR, Annual Reviews journals hold the #1 and #2 rankings in 26 different categories in the Science and Social Science Editions. Additional highlights include the following two journals that were eligible to receive their first rankings this year:

• Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry ranked #1 in two categories:

o 1 out of 71 journals in Chemistry, Analytical
o 1 out of 40 journals in Spectroscopy

• Annual Review of Marine Science ranked #1 in two categories:
o 1 out of 77 journals in Geochemistry & Geophysics
o 1 out of 59 journals in Oceanography

"Most of us find ourselves buried amidst piles of unread papers. To keep abreast of the literature in biochemistry has become a Herculean task."

Sound familiar? While these words ring true today, Annual Reviews founder J. Murray Luck in fact wrote them 80 years ago in 1932 when he published the very first volume of the Annual Review of Biochemistry. Today, Annual Reviews journals continue to critically review and analyze the rapidly expanding scientific literature, now covering 40 disciplines in the biomedical, life, physical, and social sciences.

Volume 80 of the Annual Review of Biochemistry is now available online. 
In celebration of this milestone, we have published the largest volume to date, with 42 articles including three prefatory chapters from leading scientists in the field.
