From the JCI Editor: New Impact Factor and launch of Research Letters

Dr. McNally

On behalf of the Journal of Clinical Investigation’s Editorial Board, I am humbled by the opportunity to serve the ASCI and to have the privilege of determining the cutting-edge biomedical research published by the Journal. I am delighted to share with you that the JCI’s latest Journal Impact Factor (IF) is 19.456, representing a 24% increase from the previous year. Our sister journal, JCI Insight, has also increased its IF, which now stands at 9.484. This strong performance highlights the strength of our authors’ articles and reflects the importance of our mission to understand the basis of human disease. We are grateful to our authors for entrusting us with their work, to our reviewers and consulting editors for their dedication to maintaining the highest standards, and to the prior editorial team at Johns Hopkins for their expert leadership during the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic. These successes affirm the ASCI’s voice and the critical role of societies in the publishing landscape.
