Impact Factor of the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity

This week the new impact factor (IF) of the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity was announced: 3.17.  This is a significant increase from last year's 2.63. This means that on average the papers published in IJBNPA are now cited 3.2 times. This is an impressive IF for such a young journal. The journal was established as part of the International Society of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity (ISBNPA) about 10 years ago. The society and the journal have grown into a leading society and journal in the field. Given the fact that nutrition and physical activity are important in the prevention and management of the most important chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers, the ISBNPA and IJBNPA scientific platforms are timely and important.
