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

RESUMO

In 1982, dairy products were recalled from all stores on Oahu, Hawaii, after heptachlor epoxide was detected in milk at concentrations exceeding the federal action level. At the time, an increase in human exposure to heptachlor in children was detected, but no evidence of serious health effects was observed. In an ecologic study design, this report compares mortality and cancer incidence rates of children and adolescents born from 1980 to 1982 to rates of children born before and after the heptachlor episode. Children born from 1980 to 1982 on Oahu were considered to be the exposed population, whereas children born during the same time on the other Hawaiian islands and all children born before 1980 and after 1982 constituted the unexposed population. Poisson regression was used to compare rates by age group, year, birth cohort, and place of residence. Death rates among children born from 1980 to 1982 were consistent with the overall declining mortality trend in children; the rates were consistently lower on Oahu than on the other islands. In agreement with the national trend, cancer incidence rates increased slightly in Hawaii during the last 25 years. Across all ages, cancer risk did not differ significantly between children born between 1980 and 1982 and those born during earlier and later years. However, a slightly higher occurrence of cancer for the heptachlor-exposed cohort when they were 15−19 years old deserves continued observation in the future. Overall, this report found no indication of higher mortality or cancer incidence among children born during the heptachlor contamination period.
