Abstract
Elseviers Scopus and Scimago Journal & Country Rank (SJR) are reporting inaccurate publication and citation metrics for the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy (JOSPT), particularly for the years 2018 and 2019. Despite repeated requests, Elsevier has failed to correct or explain this error to those who use these services, which misrepresents the JOSPT as having a lower impact in the field of musculoskeletal research and rehabilitation. For an accurate representation of the impact of the JOSPT in these fields, authors and readers should rely on the current Web of Science Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and Journal Impact Factor (JIF), which report the Journals current impact factor to be 3.839 and its 5-year impact factor to be 4.053. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(12):652. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.50.12.652.
