"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. Published since 1924, the JCI
is one of few high-profile journals committed to providing free online
access to all of its articles immediately upon publication. The
journal's entire archive from 1924 is now available — and all of it
freely available online to anyone, anywhere in the world.


The JCI's 2004 Impact Factor is 14.204, ...

                                          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 third-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 thatof Nature and Science
(see http://www.the-scientist.com/yr1998/feb/research_980202.html)."


"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. "
