Journal Activity in 2021

The editorial team held its fourth meeting in November 2021 for 1½ days with members attending in person or virtually. At this meeting we reviewed the performance of the Journal’s production vendor, workflow and other publication strategies, volume schedule and journal metrics, journal activities (Task Forces, Lyman selection process, activities at the 2022 annual meeting) and the Journal’s role in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Journal Task Force activities for 2021 were focused on continuing the development of a reviewer mentorship program, production of Journal-sponsored webinars, and development of a special article to provide author guidance on qualitative research.

Each year, the best paper published in the Journal in the previous year is recognized with the Rufus A. Lyman Award. The 2022 Rufus A. Lyman Award was given to “Addressing the Need for Ethnic and Racial Diversity in the Pipeline for Pharmacy Faculty” (Am J Pharm Educ 2021;8(9):Article 8586), authored by Hope E. Campbell (Belmont University), Angela M. Hagan (Belmont University), and Caroline A. Gaither (University of Minnesota). (The article is available at the following link: https://www.ajpe.org/content/ajpe/85/9/8586.full.pdf). This manuscript was chosen from among 19 outstanding papers published in 2021 and nominated for the 2022 Lyman Award because it met all the award criteria, specifically in the areas of utility and significance to pharmacy education, originality, research methodology, writing style, and quality of the figures and graphs. The 2022 Selection Committee members were Jeanne Frenzel (North Dakota State University), Michael A. Hegener (University of Cincinnati), Jamie Kellar (University of Toronto), Kristin K. Janke (University of Minnesota), Angela Shogbon Nwaesei (Mercer University), and Prashant Sakharkar (Roosevelt University). Information about the Lyman Award can be found at https://www.ajpe.org/content/rufus-lyman-award.

The Journal’s 2021 Clarivate Impact Factor was 2.876. The Journal Impact Factor Ranking was in the second quartile for education and scientific disciplines and the third quartile for pharmacology and pharmacy. Our Journal Citation Indicator was in the second quartile for education and scientific disciplines and in the second quartile for pharmacology and pharmacy. The Journal’s 2021 CiteScore was in the 81st percentile for pharmacy, 73rd percentile for education, and 64th percentile for general pharmacology. The top countries for contributions to the Journal were the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, and New Zealand. The Journal website had more than 185,000 access events in 2021. The Journal continued to see an increase in the number of Twitter followers and engagements in 2021.

In 2021, the Journal welcomed five new members to the Editorial Board: Michelle L. Blakely (University of Wyoming), Lindsey Childs-Kean (University of Florida), Michael A. Hegener (University of Cincinnati), Faruk Khan (University of Charleston), and Anastasia M. Rivkin (Fairleigh Dickinson University). We also recognized the following five individuals retiring from the Editorial Board after having served two 3-year terms: Patricia L. Darbishire (Purdue University), Karl M. Hess (Chapman University), Daniel R. Kennedy (Western New England University), Jennifer L. Mathews (Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences), and Bernie R. Olin (Auburn University). Five Editorial Board members renewed their service for a second 3-year term: Timothy Bloom (Shenandoah University), Surajit Dey (Roseman University of the Health Sciences), David Fuentes (University of Portland), Adam Pate (University of Mississippi), and William A. Prescott, Jr. (University at Buffalo).

The Editor remains indebted and thankful for all the associate editors, editorial board members, manuscript reviewers, and authors, and to the AACP Board of Directors and staff for their continued efforts and support of the Journal. The success of the Journal is dependent on the diligent and dedicated efforts of these individuals.
