Thomas Yeo @bttyeo.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Excited that Imaging Neuroscience has gotten its impact factor. Note that the impact factor is artificially low for the first year of any journal (because of the way it is calculated), so we expect the impact factor to improve next year. See more statistics below 0152
Reposted by Thomas YeoImaging Neuroscience @imagingneurosci.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Our first Impact Factor is 3.0 — an important milestone for a new journal. As with most new journals, the first IF is affected by the smaller publication volume in the launch year. Latest citation data are encouraging, and the journal’s IF is set to rise in 2027. 15820

Reposted by Thomas Yeowakeupwoke.bsky.social @wakeupwoke.bsky.social · 14/06/2026One interpretation: baseline salience FC reflects the attractor basin characteristics of that network or how reliably it settles into coherent functional states. Low FC = shallow, poorly defined basins. The network can get there, but with more variability and less precision. 121
