| Core Tip |
This editorial reflects on a 16-year evolution at the World Journal of Stem Cells and introduces a forward-thinking model for scientific publishing. We propose the Economic Impact Factor as a complementary metric to traditional citation counts - emphasizing translational relevance, editorial transparency, and artificial intelligence-driven progress. Drawing from World Journal of Stem Cells’s publishing milestones, clinical impact, and thematic breadth, we advocate for a values-based framework that prioritizes what truly matters in science: Real-world applicability, peer-reviewed integrity, and sustained contribution to future discovery. |
