The Journal of Clinical Investigation
The Journal of Clinical Investigation is a premier venue for critical advances in biomedical research, authoritative reviews, and commentaries that place research articles in context. The JCI's 2008 Impact Factor is 16.559, which is but one indication of the relevance and importance of the work appearing in the journal. The JCI's Impact Factor places it above the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Blood, PNAS, and others, and the JCI is the second-ranked journal in its category (Medicine: Research and Experimental). The findings published in the JCI also have durable significance. According to a 1998 study of long-term impact, the long-term impact of the JCI is comparable to that of Nature and Science.
The JCI currently publishes about 300 research articles annually. Authors who submit their work to the JCI can expect quick and fair review. Accepted manuscripts are published within six to eight weeks of acceptance, one of the fastest times to publication among top-tier journals.
As of March 2007, JCI's Editorial Board is located at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Laurence A. Turka is the journal's Editor-in-Chief; Ushma S. Neill is Executive Editor.
