Both AMIA journals advanced in Journal Impact Factor (JIF), reflecting the continued strength, relevance, and visibility of informatics research across the portfolio.
The 2025 Journal Impact Factor results are in, and we’re celebrating substantial gains for both Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA) and JAMIA Open. Journal Impact Factor measures how often papers are cited and along with other metrics such as views and downloads reflects the reach and influence of the work. Impact Factor is an important, albeit not the only metric used to quantify the impact of a journal in scientific communities.
According to the 2025 edition of Journal Citation Reports published by Clarivate (Science Citation Index Expanded, SCIE), JAMIA’s 2025 Impact Factor is 7.1 (up from 4.5). JAMIA Open’s Impact Factor increased from 3.4 to 4.7. These results reflect the continued strength, relevance, and visibility of the research being published across AMIA’s journals.
“JAMIA and JAMIA Open's continued success reflects the vision and dedication of their editorial teams,” said Philip R. O. Payne, president and chair of the AMIA Board of Directors. “We are deeply grateful to Dr. Suzanne Bakken and Dr. Neil Sarkar for the strong foundation they established and their lasting contributions to the journals and the field of biomedical and health informatics. Their leadership has helped to position JAMIA and JAMIA Open as the premier journals in our field and has created the platform for the continued growth and impact we celebrate today
JAMIA’s continued growth reflects the pace of innovation across biomedical and health informatics. Our authors are addressing some of the most important challenges in healthcare, including the latest in development and use of artificial intelligence in the context of biomedicine and health, and our reviewers and editors help ensure that this work meets the highest standards of scientific rigor. “Together, they are building the evidence base that informs research, practice, education and policy across the field, and it is gratifying to see those contributions recognized,” said Suzanne Bakken, PhD, RN, FAAN, FACMI, FIAHSI, editor-in-chief of JAMIA.
AMIA's journals, JAMIA and JAMIA Open, are leading scholarly publications in biomedical and health informatics. Together, they publish high-quality, peer-reviewed research spanning the full breadth of the field, including clinical and translational informatics, artificial intelligence, public health, implementation science, education, and emerging data science. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of AMIA, the journals advance the association's mission by accelerating the discovery, dissemination, and application of informatics knowledge to improve health.
“What excites me most about this milestone is what it says about the informatics community. Researchers are asking important questions, reviewers are sharing their expertise, and readers are engaging with the work in meaningful ways. JAMIA Open was created to make high-quality informatics research broadly accessible, and it is rewarding to see the journal’s reach and influence continue to grow,” said Neil Sarkar, PhD, MLIS, ACHIP, FACMI, FAMIA, editor-in-chief of JAMIA Open
Please join us in celebrating this achievement and in thanking everyone whose work contributes to the continued growth and impact of JAMIA and JAMIA Open.
