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: 1.2 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: 1.4 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: 0.3 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: 0.00066 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: 0.34 SJR: 0.274 SNIP: 0.41 CiteScore™:: 2.8 H-Index: 37

ABSTRACT

Unused wood residues can be converted into value-added products such as gourmet and medicinal mushrooms. In this study, wood waste was used to cultivate wood-inhabiting ligninolytic white-rot Basidiomycetes of the genus Pleurotus. Ligninolytic Basidiomycetes supplemented with low concentrations of dextrose readily colonized the wood waste; fruiting bodies were produced in 3-8 weeks. After the fruiting bodies were harvested, the basidiomycetes degraded up to 38% Klason lignin and 45% acid-soluble lignin in the spent substrates. Lyophilization of cultures, which stimulated filamentous mycelial growth, accelerated fruiting. The results indicate that growing Pleurotus species on wood waste or unused wood residue associated with harvesting or thinning operations can enhance economic returns needed to support ecosystem management. These values include reducing fuels for fire, decreasing pest and disease outbreaks, and increasing biodiversity.
