摘要:I must confess that in my former editorial (Vázquez, 2016), when I addressed submissions and research impact in the transition from CEDE to BRQ, I was expecting firm progress in our editorial roadmap (Fuentelsaz, 2014; Vázquez, 2015a,b) but a limited short-term impact in our market share for high-quality papers and citations. I guess I was wrong. After a record 207 submissions in 2015, we received 279 manuscripts in 2016. Our good prospects for article downloads also turned into a first Impact Factor of 0.875 in 2015, with the estimation for 2016 being even higher.
