FALLS CHURCH, VA—The Journal of Prosthetics and Orthotics (JPO), the official journal of the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists (the Academy), is pleased to announce that it has received its first Impact Factor of 0.6 from Clarivate’s 2022 Journal Citation Reports™ (Clarivate Analytics, 2023).

Having an Impact Factor is beneficial not only for prosthetic and orthotic research but for our entire profession.”
