> 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,
