Open access spreads malaria journal as disease bites
Laura Smith
The only scientific journal dedicated exclusively to malaria research has become the number one ranked journal in the field of tropical medicine, it has emerged.
Malaria Journal, published by BioMed Central, was the most highly cited journal in the field last year, rising from second place the year before. It was also the fifth most-cited journal by academics in the field of parasitology for the second year in a row.
The open access journal's popularity could reflect the growing incidence of malaria, which threatens an estimated 40% of the world's population and kills about three million people a year.
The disease, which is transmitted by mosquitoes infected with parasites, is preventable and curable but can be fatal if not treated promptly.
