It publishes original research, reviews, and editorials covering all aspects of biomedicine. The journal was established in 1883 with Nathan Smith Davis as the founding editor.[1] Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo of the University of California San Francisco became the journal editor-in-chief on July 1, 2022, succeeding Howard Bauchner of Boston University. According to Journal Citation Reports, the journal's 2022 impact factor is 120.7, ranking it 3rd out of 168 journals in the category "Medicine, General & Internal". The journal was established in 1883 by the American Medical Association and superseded the Transactions of the American Medical Association.[4] Councilor's Bulletin was renamed the Bulletin of the American Medical Association, which later was absorbed by the Journal of the American Medical Association. In 1960, the journal obtained its current title, JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association. The journal is commonly referred to as JAMA.
