By Natasha Salaria (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine)<\/p>\n

Health Policy and Planning<\/em> has received a new 2017 Impact Factor which has seen an increase to 2.420, placing us 17th<\/sup> out of 79 journals in the Health Policy and Services<\/strong> category (Quartile 1). With a new impact factor comes rehashed conversations about the value of the impact factor<\/a> and its meaning and use in the publishing world. Nonetheless it still remains an important and recognised calculation associated with journals and their citation rates.<\/p>\n

Below are our top 10 most highly cited articles contributing to the 2017 impact factor in Health Policy and Planning:<\/em><\/p>\n
