Excellent news! 🥳 Another reason for those in the Neuroendocrine field to submit their work to @JNE-editor.bluesky.social, if supporting a society owned journal that actually gives back to the community wasn’t enough motivation already!
JNE leaps to the forefront!

We are proud to announce that our Journal Impact Factor has increased to 4.1.

This achievement is a testament to the outstanding efforts of editors present and past.

Thanks to all everyone who has supported the Journal.

In December I chatted with @mikelehman.bsky.social about the strengths of our journal and his vision going forward.

Our journal funds the BSN - our main income stream, allowing us to support members with events, grants and other schemes 🧡 #YourJNE

@bsneuroendo.bsky.social @jne-editor.bsky.social
What is JNE's main strength?

"Society-owned journals allow scientists to be in control of publishing research that serves science and society."

Had to turn the emergency alert thing off on my phone after receiving my 3rd blaring siren red alert at 1am, only for my partner to receive another at 4am!! We get it, there’s a storm but are multiple repeat sirens in the middle of the night really necessary?! #StormEowyn
