Changes in Public Health Reports’ 2-year impact factor from 1997 to 2020.

The impact factor is released in the year following the citation year.

An image of a trolley car poster used in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1918, from a 2010 Public Health Reports article overviewing public safety measures implemented during the 1918 influenza pandemic. The photo was reproduced in a 2021 CNN article that discussed the possibility that, similarly to what happened in 1918, the supposedly temporary COVID-19 isolation measures can lead to lasting adverse social and psychological effects; for example, when choosing travel destinations, people might have considerations they may not have contemplated in the past.
