About the journal

Aims and Scope

Journal of Investigative Medicine (JIM) is the official publication of the American Federation for Medical Research. The journal is peer-reviewed and publishes high-quality original articles and reviews in the areas of basic, clinical, and translational medical research.

JIM publishes on all topics and specialty areas that are critical to the conduct of the entire spectrum of biomedical research: From the translation of clinical observations at the bedside, to basic and animal research to clinical research and the implementation of innovative medical care.

The journal aims to provide rapid publication of research through its continuous online publication model. Submissions should be made through the journal’s new online submission system. Articles should not be under review or under consideration by any other journal when submitted to JIM.

JIM is a member journal of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and is a sponsor of the Equator Network, which is an international initiative that promotes transparent, accurate reporting of research studies.

American Federation for Medical Research members enjoy free access to JIM as part of their member benefits. Members can login here.
