Yes, all deserve a vote of thanks. I assume our "kin" in Australia (and elsewhere) have gotten the news and are circulating this (given their recent struggles).

Subject: [SHOE] The Journal of the History of Economic Thought and the Social Sciences Citation Index
Colleagues,
We are writing to inform you of the good news that the Journal of the History of Economic Thought has been accepted for inclusion in the Social Sciences Citation Index and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index, effective with volume 30 (2008). Specifically, JHET will now be included in:
Social Sciences Citation Index®/Social Scisearch®
Journal Citation Reports/ Social Sciences Edition
Arts and Humanities Citation Index®
Current Contents®/Arts & Humanities
The “Journal Citation Reports” component means that JHET will be assigned an impact factor, which is important for many of you in your university’s faculty evaluation and promotion processes.
This is good news for JHET and for the History of Economics Society, but it is also very important for the larger history of economics community. With a critical mass of journals in the field—including JHET, History of Political Economy, the European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, and History of Economic Ideas—now included in the SSCI, the stature of each of these journals, and of the field as a whole, will be greatly enhanced.
Yours sincerely,
Evelyn Forget and Marcel Boumans
JHET Co-Editors
Steven G. Medema
HES President
