So what does this mean?

First, JSCM has a global readership. Second, over the last year we have developed our website and embarked on producing video interviews with our authors; these efforts seem to be increasing authors’ visibility and getting their research read. Third and related, publishing in JSCM means your work will be read and cited; research in JSCM has an impact.

JSCM is an empirical journal and as empiricists we know more data typically means better decisions. Hence if there are additional figures you would like to see from JSCM please do let us know. If we can provide them we will.
