The Journal Citation Reports (JCR) is a comprehensive resource provided by Clarivate Analytics, which allows users to access information about journal impact factors along with citation data for multiple titles in varied disciplines. The current search functionality allows users to search by journal title or subject category. Users may also create custom reports.
To access the Library’s JCR subscription, see MSK Library’s Databases A-Z list and if you have any questions about this resource, please don’t hesitate to ASK US.

In today’s publishing world, the nursing community contributes to the growing body of healthcare and scientific knowledge. An author needs to go beyond the written word and take steps to bring awareness to their research through social media and other venues. Join us to discover:
- The value of writing for the non-scientist, policy maker, and other audiences.
- What you need to know before you submit your manuscript for publication.
- How to promote and increase awareness of your research using social media.
Speakers include:
- Margaret Barton-Burke, BN, MS, PhD RN, FAAN, Director of Nursing Research, MSK
- Stacie Corcoran, RN, MN, AOCNS, Program Director for Adult Cancer Survivorship, MSK
- Maureen “Shawn” Kennedy, MA, RN, FAAN, Editor-in-chief, American Journal of Nursing

Predicting Breast Cancer Spread and More
- Scientists from Johns Hopkins University developed a new diagnostic tool for predicting breast cancer spread. Knowing whether a tumor is going to metastasize is crucial for timely addressing the issue and ultimately prolonging lives. Current prediction tools use genetics screening which can be difficult to interpret. The new tool, called MAqCI, developed by Professor Konstantopoulos team is based on cell characteristics, behavior and phenotype. This was reported in Nature Biomedical Engineering on May 6th.
- A new and potentially more effective way to prevent the spread of castration resistant prostate cancer was identified by researchers from at Boston University School of Medicine. The team of researchers “discovered that inhibition of the protein BRD 4” may be a way to hinder cancer spread by regulating cancer cell migration and invasion. The study was published in Molecular Cancer Research on May 20th.
- Through a unique intersection of biology, medicine, physics and mathematics, researchers from Johns Hopkins University created a visualization they compared to Google Maps of blood vessels and blood flow in a tumor. While this technology will likely not be used to directly study human cancer growth, the tools can be used to identify earlier signs of cancer and predict it’s behavior to customize treatment. A report originally published in March was publicized recently on a physics news site.
