There was a large increase (>13%) in the number of papers submitted to JRF in 1983 (Table 1). The spread from various countries varies from year to year but in 1983 47 countries were represented, including the USSR and China. In spite of the increased submission numbers the acceptance rate for the year should be about 50% when the fate of the pending papers has been decided (Table 1). This improvement over 1982 has been possible because the JRF Council of
Management has permitted the publication of up to 500 extra pages in 1984. Originally 250 pages were allowed but when about 200 of these had been used in January and March issues it became clear that a greater allocation was necessary. Nevertheless, JRF cannot just continue to increase the number of pages published because this costs money and an increased subscription cost would affect numbers of subscribers and subsequentlyReproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
