History
In 1965, the nonprofit publisher Annual Reviews surveyed geneticists to determine if there was a need for an annual journal that published review articles about recent developments in the field of genetics. Responses to the survey were favorable, with the first volume of the Annual Review of Genetics published two years later in 1967.[3] Its innaugural editor was Herschel L. Roman.[4] As of 2020, it was published both in print and electronically.[5]
It defines its scope as covering vartious aspects of genetics, including molecular, cell, and developmental biology; behavioral genetics, population genetics, chromosome structure and transmission, gene function and expression, mutation and DNA repair, genomics, and immunogenetics. Various organisms are considered, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals.[6] As of 2019, Journal Citation Reports lists the journal's impact factor as 11.146, ranking it fifth of 177 journal titles in the category "Genetics & Heredity".[1] It is abstracted and indexed in Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, MEDLINE, Embase, and Academic Search, among others.[7]
