Following the tradition established during the past two years, we are pleased to report the newly released Impact Factors of MDPI open access journals by the means of an editorial. This year's edition of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), which is published annually by Thomson Reuters, includes seven journals published by MDPI, including three that received their first official Impact Factors--Energies, Entropy, and more surprisingly Viruses--the latest with citation data from 2009 only. We are pleased to announce that the continued growth in Impact Factors reported during the past two years has been sustained, and Impact Factors of MDPI journals continue on a growth path. Table 1 reports the latest Impact Factors for 2010. Figure 1 graphically depicts the evolution of the Impact Factors for the four MDPI open access journals that have received Impact Factors in the past. Table 2 reports the ranking of the MDPI journals within the subject categories of the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
沿袭过去两年的传统，我们很高兴通过一篇社论报告最新发布的 MDPI 开放获取期刊影响因子。今年的期刊引文报告（JCR）由汤森路透（Thomson Reuters）每年出版，其中包括 MDPI 出版的七种期刊，其中三种期刊获得了首个官方影响因子——Energies、Entropy，更令人惊讶的是 Viruses——后者仅使用 2009 年的引文数据。我们很高兴地宣布，过去两年报告的影响因子持续增长，MDPI 期刊的影响因子继续呈上升趋势。表 1 报告了 2010 年的最新影响因子。图 1 以图形方式描绘了过去获得影响因子的四个 MDPI 开放获取期刊的影响因子演变。表 2 报告了 MDPI 期刊在科学引文索引扩展版（SCIE）学科类别的排名。
