JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery —The Year in Review, 2017

JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery is nearly 20 years old —youthful compared with many of the JAMA Network journals! The biggest news for the journal this year was the impressive jump in our impact factor to 2.7, which positions the journal in the top echelon among journals that publish similar content. As we have attracted higher-quality scientific subm issions, our acceptance rate for research manuscripts has now dipped to 24% (last year the rate was 33%) (Table). We will be carefully monitoring this trend because we wish to be inclusive and inviting to our research community while striving to be selective in showcasing the very best work of our colleagues.
