*bepress Journals in 2008 - Impact and Growth*

Two bepress journals received their first impact factor in 2008, 
each with a stellar first showing.

SAGMB is now the #5 ranked statistics journal in ISI: Statistical 
Applications in Genetics and Molecular Biology (SAGMB) received 
an outstanding first impact factor in the 2007 Journal Citation 
Reports from Thomson/ISI. The journal's impact factor is 2.167. 
It ranks #5 of all 91 statistics journals in the ISI Science 
Citation Index. In its first year, SAGMB joins such established 
titles as Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, and Journal of the Royal 
Statistics Society B, in the top five. SAGMB also ranks 155th out 
of 263 biochemistry & molecular biology journals, a category that 
includes some of the most heavily cited titles in science 
research, such as Cell and PLoS Biology.

Another bepress journal, International Journal of Chemical 
Reactor Engineering (IJCRE), also received its first impact 
factor with the 2007 Journal Citation Reports. The journal's 
impact factor is 0.75, and it ranks 58th out of the 114 chemical 
engineering journals in the Science Citation Index. IJCRE remains 
the only journal in the category that focuses on chemical reactor 
engineering.

Studies in Nonlinear Dynamics & Econometrics (SNDE) now has an 
impact factor of 0.593, and ranks #104 out of 191 economics 
journals. SNDE's impact and rank has grown steadily over the past 
years: the 2007 impact factor represents a 42% increase over its 
2005 impact factor of 0.418. SNDE is well on its way to becoming 
one of the top-ranked econometrics journals in the field.

*The new face of ResearchNow*

In response to our customers, who want the freedom to build the 
collections they really want, bepress has reinvented the way we 
do collections.

We are pleased to introduce our new opt-in model for ResearchNow. 
We have fenced off our collection at its current level of 42 
journals - this is our 2009 collection. Going forward, 
subscribers will be able to renew only this core collection. Or, 
they can opt in to new journals as they prefer, one by one or as 
a discounted yearly package of all new journals.
