The American Journal of Medicine (AJM) recently received the good news that our impact factor now exceeds 5.0. AJM has been steadily moving up in this index; our score has risen each of the last 5 years, since the current editorial team took over the Journal.
In addition, AJM’s independent PERC readership analysis also has improved substantially.
In 2004, only 14% of internists in the US reported that they spent any time reading the AJM. In this year’s analysis, the percentage rose to 46%, passing the readership score for the Archives of Internal Medicine and closing in rapidly on the readership score for the Annals of Internal Medicine.
We, at the AJM editorial office, are pleased and proud of the Journal’s progress. We are committed to continuing this fine performance.
