The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00066 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.34 SJR: 0.274 SNIP: 0.41 CiteScore™:: 2.8 H-Index: 37

ABSTRAKT

I first heard Professor Shu-Ting Chang giving a presentation on mushrooms in January 1997, in Windhoek, Namibia. This was on the occasion of our hosting the First International Training Workshop on the Zero Emissions Research Initiative (ZERI) in Africa. ZERI is a zero-waste initiative that was born at the United Nations University (UNU) in Tokyo, which looks at a wide spectrum of materials around us (e.g., the huge tonnage of organic lignocellulosic agricultural crop residues) with a view to transforming them into new value-added marketable products. Professor Chang had been invited to the workshop as one of the key resource persons. At that historic workshop, he delivered two lectures. The first was titled Integrated Mushroom Farming in the ZERI Context (Chang, 1998a); the second was titled Nutritional and Medicinal Properties of Mushrooms (Chang, 1998b). Both lectures enormously impressed me and revealed Professor Chang as a great teacher, who inspires; as a great scholar, who is characterized by astounding depth in his understanding of mushroom science; as a solid scientist, who is remarkably contagious in his appeal toward inspiring love for mushrooms; and as a sage, who is blessed with virtues of humility, kindness, charisma, innovativeness, an inquisitive mind, and a subtle sense of humor. In that memorable meeting of January of 1997, Professor Chang baptized me and captured my love for mushrooms. In this contribution, we shall outline the role that Professor Chang has played since that first encounter toward unveiling Africa's treasures of medicinal and other mushrooms.
