The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 2.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 2.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.5 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00049 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.59 SJR: 0.429 SNIP: 0.507 CiteScore™:: 3.9 H-Index: 49

ABSTRACT

The associate director for science and medicine in the Office of Drug Safety at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. David Graham, reported that the FDA was incapable of protecting Americans from unsafe drugs. In testimony to the Senate Finance Committee, he stated that the FDA has let the American people down and betrayed public trust. Drastic changes and measures within the FDA must be made to ensure the safety of American consumers of drugs, products, and medical devices. Efforts such as the introduction of the Grassley-Dodd Bill, allowing the FDA to order immediate drug recall or increased risk warnings, followed by the FDA Safety Act of 2007, are still not enough to ensure the safety and efficacy of drugs, biological products, and medical devices that the American public use every day. In this report, we describe past and present efforts by congressional leaders, FDA representatives, and American citizens to effect changes within the FDA in order to protect America from unsafe drugs and medical devices. We describe our own struggles in passing a citizen’s petition to ban cornstarch in medical gloves, and the lack of response and responsibility that the FDA has displayed.
