Abstract

With this perspective, the editorial leadership of The American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry (AJGP), in consultation with the managing editor at Stellar Medical Publications (David Newcombe) and publisher at Elsevier (Josh Spieler), is initiating a new annual feature, reporting measures of impact for articles published during each 12-month period (July 1 to June 30), the so-called “medical year.” Our goal is to extend previous bibliometric analyses demonstrating domains of science published in the AJGP and attracting the greatest number of citations by examining not only number of citations (used in the calculation of impact factors) but also number of downloads recorded in ScienceDirect and PlumX metrics scores reflecting activity on social media (such as FaceBook and Twitter). Each of these measures reflects different audiences that read the Journal, allowing us to assess digital footprint across several dimensions relevant to the mission of the Journal and of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry (to whom the editors are accountable).
