This issue of Reflections focuses on numbers, with the release of the 2024 Journal Impact Factor and CiteScore, the new ‘1000 club’ and updated KPIs. The Journal Impact Factor for the Journal of the Institute of Brewing in 2022/23 is 2.0 with a Scopus CiteScore for 2021-24 of 4.8. The ‘1000 club’ celebrates the five publications since 2023 with greater than a 1000 ‘reads’. The four ‘key performance indicators’ (KPIs) segment key steps in the process from submission to publication and are reported for each issue in 2025 compared with consolidated KPIs for 2023/24.
