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

ABSTRACT

β-glucan prepared from mushrooms is used in both modern medicine and traditional oriental therapies because of its potent immunomodulatory properties. The effects of β-glucan depend on its structure and origin. Therefore, elucidating the structure and source of β-glucan is crucial for its use in food therapy and medicine. In this study, we performed NMR analysis of β-glucan preparations from various mushrooms in order to determine their structure and source. Our results show that NMR spectroscopy can be used to determine the type of mushrooms from which a β-glucan is derived on the basis of the structure of the β-glucan. We believe that this method will help promote the use of β-glucan in clinical settings and as a health food additive.
