The Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle (JCSM) was launched in September 2010, which means that we are publishing in the 9th year. Looking at PubMed, we found 445 entries when we searched the database on 7 September 2018. The overall number of publications has increased along with the number of issues from 4 to 5 in 2016 and again to 6 per year in 2017. Quite interestingly, though, the impact factor, published by Thomson Scientific in June this year, has also risen from 9.697 to 12.511. Of course, this is the 2017 impact factor, because the 2018 impact factor will become available only next year. It often comes as a surprise that the impact factor publication always bears the previous year. This has to do with the fact that it is calculated based on the items published and cited in the previous two full years. For JCSM, this means that the impact factor 2017 was calculated based on items cited and published in 2016 and 2017, but not on 2018 data as these are not available in full in the middle of the year. Looking at content and using the search term ‘J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle [jo] AND muscle [ti]’, we found 191 items published in JCSM that have the word ‘muscle’ in the manuscript title. For cachexia and sarcopenia, these numbers are 140 and 66, respectively.
JCSM is currently listed in Thomson Scientific only in two categories, in ‘Geriatrics and Gerontology’ and in ‘Medicine, General and Internal’ where it is ranked number 1 and number 8, respectively. We feel that listing in ‘Nutrition and Dietetics’ would also be appropriate, but currently, this is not the case (Tables 1, 2, 3). The best papers published in JCSM are listed in Tables 4, 5, 6, 7.1

Looking at JCSM as the mother, there are now two daughters that have started to flourish: JCSM—Clinical Reports (http://www.jcsm-clinical-reports.info) started in July 2016 and is dedicated to clinical reports in the strictest sense of the word, i.e. original and review papers from the clinical field of wasting disorders in the broadest sense including case reports. The other one, JCSM—Rapid Communications (http://www.jcsm-rapid-communications.info), was launched a little later in January this year and is supposed to publish scientific papers from a very broad field including original and review papers from clinical as well as basic science groups. It is interesting to see how rapidly both journals are growing, underlining the need for more than one journal in the area of body wasting that can still be considered a niche. Of course, we welcome submissions to all three journals.
Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the up‐coming Cachexia Conference, to be held in Maastricht, the Netherlands, from December 7 to 9, 2018. The conference remains a source of stimulating ideas and exchange between clinicans and researchers in the field of cachexia and wasting. More information is available at http://society-scwd.org.
