Abstract: Resources continues as a leader in publication of broad resources for the molecular ecology community.Molecular Ecology Resources has ranked highly (> 90th percentile) for several years in categories of Evolutionary Biology and Ecology based on impact factor and additional indicators.The current impact factor (IF) for MER is 5.5, which is lower than previous years.However, other impact metrics that are less sensitive to quirks introduced by the new calculation of IF provide a more consistent picture for MER such as observed with the 5-year IF (7.8 compared to 8.0 in previous year), h5index (66 which is the same as the previous year) and Scopus (CiteScore = 15.6 compared to 12.9 in previous year).The journal continues to navigate changes in the publishing landscape that includes new competition for quality papers, more options for open access, and improvements in the peer-review process.Ultimately, we strive to provide high-quality resources for the community with rigorous publication ethics and standards.Further, we aim to support our authors, reviewers and readers with responsive interaction and a high-quality experience.
