Viruses Receives an Updated Impact Factor of 3.8

After achieving a new CiteScore of 7.3, placing Viruses (ISSN: 1999-4915) in Q1 in the “Infectious Diseases” category, we would like to share that Viruses also received a new impact factor of 3.8, placing it in Q2 in the “Virology” category according to Journal Citation Reports 2023. Despite a slight drop, likely due to the COVID-19 impact over the previous years, among other factors (in the context of the overall WoS journals), we are steadily improving.
