Over a quarter of Cambridge journals fall within the top 10 of their
categories when ranked by Impact Factor. Bulletin of Entomological
Research, Microscopy and Microanalysis, and Psychological Medicine are

Economic History, International Organization and Studies in Second Language

be based on a combination of factors but these results clearly demonstrate
the increased value of Cambridge Journals."
