CrystEngComm has achieved its highest ever impact factor of 4.183, according to 2009 data released by Thomson ISI on 17th June 2010.  We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our authors, referees and readers for your continued support which has enabled the journal to continue to grow in impact. 

The impact factor is a measure of the number of times an "average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular year. The impact factor for 2009 is calculated from the total number of citations given in 2008 to articles published in 2008 and 2007, divided by the number of articles published in 2008 and 2007.   

With its high impact factor and fast publication times, CrystEngComm remains the obvious journal of choice for publishing the most current research relating to the design and understanding of the solid state.
