Publications 1.4 1.2 1 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 Increased Recognition From the Field The Impact Factor of ISPO’s Society journal POI has moved from 0.377 to 0.563 in 2009 to 0.634 in 2010 and 0.950 in 2011. The 5-year Impact Factor has increased from 0.730 in 2009 to 0.818 in 2010 and 1.298 in 2011. Formerly ranked 25 of 28 in the rehabilitation short list, POI ranked 25 of 33 in 2009, 33 of 43 in 2010 and 42 of 58 in 2011. In the orthopaedics list, it ranked 40 of 61 in 2010 and 38 of 63 in 2011. This evolution illustrates increased recognition of the ISPO journal from the field and improved relevance and quality of POI articles. Special Issue on the London 2012 Paralympics – “Preparing The Secrets To Success” On the occasion of the London 2012 Paralympics, ISPO issued a special edition of POI. Entitled: “London 2012 Paralympics: Preparing the secrets to success”, the issue presented informative research that has clinical relevance from the foundational level of the novice sports person with a disability to the elite Paralympian. Furthermore it aimed to contribute to the scientific literature in terms of progression, performance and rehabilitation of athletes with a disability. Publishing in Prosthetics and Orthotics International (POI) 5Y IF 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Despite all the changes on the journal during this triennium, the editorial team takes to heart to ensure that the journal will continue to publish clinical research in order to maximise the journal’s IF appeal to clinicians, academics and scientists. By publishing in POI, authors can now expect: • Rapid (online) publication 7 weeks after acceptance of your manuscript • Peer reviewed by prestigious editorial faculty • All articles published online ahead of print on http://poi.sagepub.com/ The Future With a new editorial leadership, a new publisher, a new layout, and a new online home, POI has significantly strengthened its position as the leading multidisciplinary journal for all professionals who have an interest in the medical, clinical, rehabilitation, technical, educational and research aspects of prosthetics, orthotics and rehabilitation engineering, as well as their related topics. Together with SAGE Publications and the Editor–in- Chief Dr. Sarah Curran, ISPO is working hard to maximize the reader’s experience and make POI an increased quality tool for all Prosthetics and Orthotics professionals. To complement POI, ISPO is currently working on conceptualizing an online publication with clinical, hands-on focus. The ISPO eUpdate Over the triennium, ISPO has managed to produce and systematize an electronic newsletter, the “ISPO eUpdate” currently being sent to more than 5,000 P&O professionals on a bimonthly basis. This publication includes Society news as well as recent developments in the field worldwide and has recently changed format and look and feel to answer members’ and partners’ needs. A number of ISPO Member Societies have expressed interest in translating the eUpdate in local language while this is already happening in some places (eUpdates are now made available in Japanese thanks to the support of our colleagues from ISPO Japan). 16 TRIENNIUM REPORT 2010-2013 INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PROSTHETICS AND ORTHOTICS
