Impact factor of the Netherlands Heart Journal between 2009 (first impact factor) and 2011. The impact factor of 2012 was communicated between the submission of this editorial and its publication

Citation of the papers published by the Netherlands Heart Journal 2007–2011 during the subsequent years of citation. Year 1 is the year of publication. Data are from Journal Citation Reports, a product from Thomson Reuters, when the symbols are small. The larger symbols are taken from the Web of Science (also from Thomson Reuters), in cases where information was not (yet) available in Journal Citation Reports

Prediction of the impact factor of the Netherlands Heart Journal in 2012 (thin line) and 2013 (thick line). At the time of publication of this article, the accuracy of this prediction can be appreciated from the official value, as it will have been communicated by Thomson Reuters. The impact factor for 2013 (see the circle at week 22 which is repeated at week 52, because it predicts the situation at the end of the year) will be officially communicated in the summer of 2014
