Obesity Reviews – now the world’s leading obesity journal!

One of IASO’s journals Obesity Reviews has recently achieved its first impact factor – 7.821* making it the top ranked obesity journal. 

“From the beginning, it has been the strategy of the journal to secure a high academic level by involving the best and strongest research environments around the world. In this connection, the Faculty of Life Sciences is one of the important contributors submitting new research results within food and health”, says Arne Astrup, who has been the editor-in-chief of   the journal since its start in 2000.

“We expect the huge international success of the journal to lead to even more scientists submitting their articles for publication in the journal, especially because the Impact Factor of the scientists’ articles will form part of most universities’ assessment of the qualify of the research” continues Arne Astrup.

The publishers, Wiley-Blackwell in Oxford, UK, praise the work of the editorial team in this important field of public health:

"Obesity Review's impressive achievement is evidence of the journal's commitment to providing high impact, good quality research to the medical community in an area of huge and growing importance to public health and the practice of medicine. We have thoroughly enjoyed our partnership with the International Association for the Study of Obesity, the Editor, Professor Arne Astrup, and the Editorial team to make Obesity Reviews such an instant success", said Dr Andrew Robinson, Managing Director, Medicine, Wiley-Blackwell.
