Dear forpath and forent colleagues, In a bit of shameless self-promotion, I wanted to share that the journal I am Specialty Chief Editor for, with Kimberly Wallin, in the section Pests, Pathogens and Invasions just received its first ever impact factor, a quite respectable 4.332 (7th out of 69 Forestry journals). I hope this will encourage you to submit your next paper to it!
