Molecular Systems Biology received its first impact factor: 7.941 !
This impact factor refers to citations accumulated in 2006 for papers published in 2005. The journal was launched in March 2005 and is visible in MEDLINE since June 2006. This is obviously an "early" impact factor, but it already shows the dynamism of the field. This is great news not only for the journal but also for the community.
