Zusammenfassung:	Just prior to Political Geography's 2018 Editorial Board meeting (at the annual meeting of the American Association of Geographers in New Orleans), Clarivate Analytics released its 2017 Journal Impact Factor (JIF) scores, which is the metric most frequently used for ranking journals. Political Geography's numbers were impressive. With a JIF of 3.495, the journal was now ranked 9th out of 84 journals in Geography and 7th out of 169 journals in Political Science. After falling in 2016 to 16th in Geography and 23rd in Political Science, Political Geography had reclaimed its position in the top 10.
