Journal of Clinical Investigation
Encyclopedia : J : JO : JOU : Journal of Clinical Investigation
The Journal of Clinical Investigation (JCI or J Clin Invest) is a leading biomedical journal, which is radically different from many of its peers in having a high impact factor (14.204) and offering all its online contents entirely free. It is also one of those rare journals whose entire archives are available online, let alone the issue of cost.
The website of the journal describes it as "a premier venue for critical advances in biomedical research, authoritative reviews, and commentaries that place research articles in context." The first issue of the journal appeared in 1924, and within a few decades, it had established itself as a reputed journal for primary clinical research.
The JCI's Editorial Board has been located at Columbia University since March 2002. Andrew Marks is the journal's Editor-in-Chief, and Ushma Savla, formerly with Nature Medicine, is the Executive Editor.
This monthly journal publishes much original research, and one review article per issue, often ranked in par with the sophisticated and widely-cited reviews found in Physiological Reviews. A series of review articles (under the term"'Review Series") focussing on an important biomedical topic is also regularly published, which has proved to be a positive addition to the journal's reputation.
