Between 2013 and 2014, Elsevier saw 55% of our journals' impact factors increase ahead of the aggregate across other journals. In 2014, Elsevier journals occupied the top rank in 62 subject categories, up from 61 in 2013. Read moreabout Elsevier's 2014 annual citation metrics highlights and instructions for finding journal metrics on ScienceDirect.
