The impact of CPJ on practice: An update

Abstract

Over the past few years, we have been discussing the impact of CPJ on pharmacy practice. To recap, we view impact as how the material published in the journal affects practice (i.e., the patient care you deliver). Traditional measures of impact focus on citations (the number of times articles are cited by other authors)—we don’t think this is as relevant as changing your practice, which won’t be reflected by citations. As such, I am pleased to introduce Janice Kung, a health sciences librarian and new member of CPJ’s Editorial Board, and Jessica Lipowski, our publishing editor at SAGE Publications, who will be regularly reporting on the real impact of the journal.
