Editor-in-Chief Jörg Enderlein and the editorial board of Biophysical Reports are pleased to announce that the journal has reached the milestone of receiving its first Impact Factor: 2.4! There are many ways to analyze the quality and success of a journal. Impact Factor is only one, but it reflects that a journal has established itself and is publishing work that is being recognized and cited by the community. We are proud of the journal’s development and would like to thank the authors who have submitted their work as well as the editors and reviewers who have provided a fast, rigorous, and fair peer review process.

The journal was launched as a high-quality, forward-looking gold open access publishing option in 2021. Publishing in all disciplines encompassed by biophysics, with a particular emphasis on methods and techniques, as well as concepts and ideas that present major conceptual advances or represent new views on existing data and results, the journal has continued to build its reputation. It provides a venue for papers that are written for specialists as well as those written for the broader biophysics community.
