The shift of Microbial Ecology in Health and Disease to an Open Access publication model and a dedicated publishing house has now started to bear fruit. The so-called Impact Factor is one of several ranking indicators that are important for the development of a scientific journal, and I am therefore pleased to inform our authors and readers that, in July 2012, Microbial Ecology in Health and Disease was entered into online evaluation by Thomson Reuters (ISI), the company offering this citation indexing service. However, it will probably take 3-4 years before the journal actually obtains an official Impact Factor due to the way in which this factor is calculated. But now the process has started. Personally, my first priority is to publish highquality research papers that will be read by researchers all over the world; if these papers are also cited by these researchers, I will only be happy.
