[IISE Faculty List] great news from IISE Transactions for Healthcare Systems Engineering journal

[Oguzhan Alagoz]

Dear colleagues,
I am writing to share some great news about our journal, IISE Transactions for Healthcare Systems Engineering (IISE-HSE).
We have been informed by Web of Science (Clarivate) that IISE-HSE is now officially included in the Emerging Science Citation Index (ESCI). Our journal will now have an official impact factor.  This is great news for our journal and the potential authors as we are aware that many universities expect their researchers to only publish in journals that are included in Science Citation Index (SCI). Web of Science includes journals in ESCI first before adding them to SCI.  I expect that this news will increase submissions to our journal significantly.
This success would not have been possible without the support of our community, authors, and editorial board members. I am very grateful for all of the support by our amazing community.

Now that we are indexed in ESCI, we should continue to work towards taking the journal to the next level by improving its first official impact factor, which will be crucial to get the journal into SCI.
IISE-HSE has a crucial mission, it helps IISE and the industrial engineering (IE) community to demonstrate the potential contributions of IE tools to improve healthcare. We have a lot to offer to improve healthcare. Therefore, I am requesting the help of all of the IE community to take our journal to the next level and improve our impact.
How can you help IISE-HSE to increase its impact?

  *   Submit your high-quality work & encourage your colleagues/students to submit to IISE-HSE
  *   Propose new special issues: We are actively looking for special issues focusing on the state-of-the-art topics/application areas. Feel free to reach out to myself or the department editors if you have any interest in organizing a special issue for the journal.
  *   Sign up for New Content Alerts at https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/uhse21/current#<https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/uhse21/current> so that you will stay on top of the latest research published in IISE-HSE
  *   Incorporate IISE-HSE into your classroom: You can use IISE-HSE articles in the classroom, even at the undergraduate level. If you do so, please include a link to the full-text journal articles rather than posting or sending around a PDF, which will help increase article usage and download counts.
  *   Help promote IISE-HSE articles: Mention IISE-HSE or highlight articles from IISE-HSE in your lectures or presentations, share IISE-HSE articles with colleagues (including via social media) especially with your collaborators in the healthcare field. Because IISE-HSE currently does not appear in PubMed, it is possible that many healthcare researchers are unaware of the excellent papers published in our journal.
  *   Enhance your CV and personal websites by adding links to your articles in IISE-HSE: By linking your articles published in IISE-HSE on your website or in your CV, you will help increase the journal's search engine results and article downloads.
  *   Check your reference lists to make sure your citations include IISE-HSE when appropriate.
  *   Contact me or other editorial board members if you have any other specific suggestions to improve our journal.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions/suggestions.

Thank you
