Abstract
The recent increase of the Journal of Cell Signaling and Communication' 2020 Impact Factor to 5.782, and its growing audience in the scientific community, provides an opportunity to step back and look at different aspects of this indicator's value. The take home message is that the top-ten major contributions to the 2020 ranking originated from North America and Europe followed by India with a high percentage of CCN-related publications and an excellent proportion of Editorial Board members' contributions to the Top10 best citations for the 2018-2019 period.
