The good news first, the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle (JCSM) has not only maintained its impact factor, but it has even increased it again, now reaching 7.883 as has been published by Thomson Scientific a few weeks ago. This places JCSM again as the number 9 ranked journal amongst all journals in ‘Medicine, General and Internal’ (Table 1) and as number 2 ranking publication amongst all nutrition journals, amongst which; however, JCSM is still not offficially listed by Thomson Scientific (Table 2). This new impact factor re‐confirms the inaugural impact factors of 7.413 for 2013 and 7.315 for 2014. As before, we would like to sincerely thank all authors, reviewers and editorial board members for their great efforts to produce JCSM at good quality, and we greatly appreciate and value also the interest and support of all those who enjoy reading JCSM and cite the papers published there.
