Professor Alasdair M. Geddes was presented with ISC Honorary Membership in recognition for his work in the field of infectious diseases and as Editor-in-Chief of the ISC journal; International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents. During the congress, the ISC was delighted to learn that the impact factor of the journal had risen to 3.1 – this was due in large part, to the efforts of Prof. Geddes.

| International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents (newly announced impact factor = 3.1) |
 |
One of ISC’s principle activities is production of the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents in collaboration with the publisher Elsevier.
The journal provides comprehensive and up-to-date peer reviewed reference information on the physical, pharmacological, in vitro and clinical properties of individual antimicrobial agents. In addition, it signals new trends and developments in the field through highly authoritative review articles on antimicrobial agents, immunomodulators and immunotherapy. Special attention is given to articles providing insight into the problems of antimicrobial resistance, local as well as world-wide, both in the hospital and in the community. Papers on the underlying mechanisms and on immunomodulating agents are also welcome. Both solicited reviews by top experts in the mentioned fields and high-quality original research papers are published.

The journal is thriving due, in no small part, to the diligence of our Editor-in-Chief: Professor Alasdair Geddes, Birmingham, UK. Professor Geddes is also one of the ISC Trustees. During the recent ICC, it was announced that the impact factor of the journal had risen to 3.1.
Well done to Professor Geddes and his team.
