JOURNAL OF CLINICAL INVESTIGATION
Revised October 4, 2021
Why submit your manuscript to the JCI?
Broad readership and scope.
Readers across a wide range of medical disciplines and sectors; basic and phase I/II clinical research articles in all biomedical specialties, including Immunology, Metabolism, Neuroscience, Oncology, Vascular biology, and many others.
Free access.
All research is freely available to the public. The JCI deposits published research articles in PubMed Central, which satisfies the NIH Public Access Policy and other similar funding agency requirements.
Funding agency open access compliance.
Authors with funding from agencies requiring open access may request a CC BY 4.0 license in order to be compliant with funding mandates, including those under Plan S. Beginning with the January 4, 2022, issue of the JCI, all content will automatically carry the CC BY 4.0 license.
Editorial Board.
The Editorial Board includes academic editors with a broad range of expertise who are active researchers in their fields.
Longevity.
The JCI was founded in 1924 and is published by the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI), a nonprofit honor organization of physician-scientists established in 1908.
Impact Factor. 14.8 (2020).
One of the top journals in the category “Medicine, Research & Experimental.”
The JCI considers research submissions in the following categories
Click the category name for formatting instructions; or go to How to submit your manuscript for the first time (new windows).
Research manuscripts provide substantial new mechanistic insights into biology and disease. These are complete descriptions of studies of scientific importance and broad interest to the JCI readership.
Clinical Medicine manuscripts report new medical therapies, interventions, diagnostic advances, or observational studies in humans that have the potential to change medical practice. Reports of interest include clinical studies and observational analyses.
Concise Communication manuscripts report brief but complete highly significant findings in a shorter format of 4,000 words or fewer in length; this strictly enforced word limit includes all text (title page, main text, references, legends, and table). Note: Beginning January 1, 2022, the Editorial Board will no longer consider new Concise Communication submissions. At that time, new submissions must be formatted for the Research or Clinical Medicine category as appropriate.
Letter to the Editor manuscripts comment on a recent JCI research article and must be of substantial impact and interest to the general readership. They are limited to 400 words. Submission must occur within 1 month of the date of the issue in which the original article was published; the authors of the JCI article are provided the opportunity to respond. Note: For comments not fulfilling the requirements of this category or made beyond the 1-month time limit, authors should use the Submit comments option on the article page (see example here).
The Journal does not consider unsolicited manuscripts in non-research categories such as Review, Viewpoint, or Commentary. For more information, contact editors@the-jci.org.
Contacting the JCI
Questions regarding manuscript handling and status should be addressed to staff@the-jci.org. To avoid the possibility of misinterpretation and/or errors in communication, the Journal will typically communicate only with the corresponding author. For any communication with us, reference the assigned tracking number as noted in the Journal’s acknowledgment of your submission. If you do not have this information, provide the manuscript title and corresponding author’s name.
Questions concerning editorial policies or decisions should be addressed to the Science Editors at editors@the-jci.org. Other members of the Editorial Board do not take calls or written inquiries from authors concerning decisions or other editorial matters. In general, responses are sent after evaluation of the written material and subsequent discussion by the Editorial Board.
Authors may submit inquiries to the JCI regarding manuscripts of potential suitability. Inquiries should include the manuscript abstract and a statement detailing the reasons why the manuscript might be of interest to the Journal’s readership. Decisions on such inquiries are not a substitute for peer review but are intended to provide informal guidance to authors in determining where to submit their research for full peer review.

The JCI does not consider research manuscripts that have been posted to a community preprint server to be prior publications.
Review of manuscripts
[Top of page] | [Editorial policies and practices]
The Science Editors assign manuscripts to appropriate Associate Editors. Papers may be rejected without external review if the Associate Editor, together with a Science Editor or the Editor in Chief, determines that the study does not significantly advance the field or the subject material is inappropriate for the JCI’s readership. When papers are sent for external review, the choice of reviewers is made by the Associate Editor and may include reviewers suggested by the authors during the submission process. Requests by authors to exclude specific potential reviewers will be honored to the greatest extent possible if a compelling reason is provided. At least two, and generally three, expert referees are asked to review the manuscript in a timely manner and to assign a priority based on content, originality, quality, relevance, and interest. Authors are informed of the final decision by email, with applicable comments from reviewers and Editors included.
Note: Manuscripts from Johns Hopkins University are handled not by the Editorial Board at large, but instead in a separate process; in these circumstances, a Science Editor is the only Editor privy to the manuscript and, if the manuscript is sent for review, works with an outside consultant to formulate a decision.
ASCI members. Any dues-paying ASCI member who is a corresponding author of a first-round submission, and whose dues are current, may designate a first-round JCI submission to be guaranteed for external peer review (limit of 1 per calendar year). A member wishing to designate a submission for guaranteed review must start the submission using the “JCI family of journals” portal through the member’s ASCI account. Manuscripts submitted using the guaranteed review must fit within the scope of the Journal and will be held to the same standard for publication as other manuscripts considered by the Editorial Board. Note that the guaranteed external review option may not be used for manuscripts, in the same form or after revision, that have previously been rejected by the Journal. If an option is used for a new submission that is identified as a revision of a previous manuscript, the option will be removed from the submission and become available for use on a new submission.
Reviewer rewards. Frequent reviewers are provided the opportunity to submit a new manuscript, as corresponding author, with a guarantee of external review. The Reviewer Reward is granted in January to reviewers who have completed on-time reviews for at least 3 separate manuscripts within the preceding 18 months. Only 1 reward may be used per calendar year. Submissions using the reward must fit within the scope of the journal and will be held to the same standard for publication as other manuscripts considered by the Editorial Board. Note: ASCI members whose dues are current receive a separate benefit for guaranteed external review (see above) and may not earn Reviewer Rewards in addition. More details are available here.
