Here in this post, apart from JAMA Impact Factor, I have tried to compile all the necessary information a research scholar would seek before publishing an article in the journal.
About JAMA Journal
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) is a peer-reviewed medical journal published 48 times a year by the American Medical Association.
It publishes original research, reviews, and editorials covering all aspects of biomedicine

JAMA Impact Factor
Impact Factor (IF) or often called journal impact factor (JIF) is an index provided by an analytics company named Clarivate. The impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of times the articles are cited in the last two years by the total number of publications in those two years.
- Total Citations in 2020 and 2021 = 500
- Total Number of Publications in 2020 and 2021 = 100
- Impact Factor of the Journal in 2022 = 500/100 = 5
JAMA Impact Factor (2017-2022)
- JAMA Impact Factor 2017 – 47.661
- JAMA Impact Factor 2018 – 51.273
- JAMA Impact Factor 2019 – 45.540
- JAMA Impact Factor 2020 – 56.272
- JAMA Impact Factor 2021 – 157.335
- JAMA Impact Factor 2022 – 120.7 (updated in June 20223

JAMA H-index
The h index is a metric for evaluating the cumulative impact of an author’s scholarly output and performance; measures quantity with quality by comparing publications to citations.
The h index of JAMA Journal is 709, which means among all the published articles in this journal, 709 of these publications have received at least 709 citations each.

JAMA SCImago Rank
The SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) indicator is a measure of the scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where the citations come from.

|---|---|
| 2018 | 7.477 |
