Whois & Analysis for jmir.org

In academic publishing, a scientific journal is a periodical publication intended to further the progress of science, usually by reporting new research.

There are thousands of scientific journals in publication, and many more have been published at various points in the past (see list of scientific journals).

Most journals are highly specialized, although some of the oldest journals such as Nature publish articles and scientific papers across a wide range of scientific fields.

Scientific journals contain articles that have been peer reviewed, in an attempt to ensure that articles meet the journal's standards of quality, and scientific validity.

If the journal's editor considers the paper appropriate, at least two researchers preferably from the same field check the paper for soundness of its scientific argument, and must agree to publish it.

Although scientific journals are superficially similar to professional magazines, they are actually quite different.

Issues of a scientific journal are rarely read casually, as one would read a magazine.

The publication of the results of research is an essential part of the scientific method.

If they are describing experiments or calculations, they must supply enough details that an independent researcher could repeat the experiment or calculation to verify the results.

Each such journal article becomes part of the permanent scientific record.

The Journal of Medical Internet Research is a peer-reviewed open-access medical journal established in 1999 covering eHealth and "healthcare in the Internet age".

The editor-in-chief is Gunther Eysenbach.

According to the Journal Citation Reports the journal has a 2015 impact factor of 4.532, ranking it second out of 20 journals in the category "Medical Informatics" and fifth out of 87 journals in the category "Health Care Sciences & Services".

The journal was incorporated as JMIR Publications in 2011 and was a cofounder of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association.

Shortly after incorporation, several sister journals were launched, focusing on specific subtopics within eHealth, such as mHealth, serious games, mental health, and cancer.

An academic or scholarly journal is a periodical publication in which scholarship relating to a particular academic discipline is published.

Academic journals serve as permanent and transparent forums for the presentation, scrutiny and discussion of research.

They are usually peer-reviewed or refereed.

Content typically takes the form of articles presenting original research, review articles, and book reviews.

The purpose of an academic journal, according to the first editor of the world's oldest academic journal Henry Oldenburg, is to give researchers a venue to "impart their knowledge to one another, and contribute what they can to the Grand design of improving natural knowledge, and perfecting all Philosophical Arts, and Sciences.".

Biomedical research (or experimental medicine) is in general simply known as medical research.

It is the basic research (also called bench science or bench research), applied research, or translational research conducted to aid and support the development of knowledge in the field of medicine.

Communication (from Latin commūnicāre, meaning "to share") is the act of conveying intended meanings from one entity or group to another through the use of mutually understood signs and semiotic rules.
