Welcome to JMIR
Mission-Driven Open Access Publishing
JMIR Publications helps digital health scientists disseminate innovations, ideas, protocols, and research results to the widest possible audience. This includes not only other researchers, but also patients, consumers, policy makers, and industry and other knowledge users.
Open science is at the heart of what we do. As one of the world's first open access publishers, we have more than 25 years of experience in scholarly communication. And we pride ourselves on being innovators in the space, advancing current offerings by experimenting with novel metrics, new business models, new peer review and dissemination models, and new technologies.
As a result of our strict adherence to peer-review and editorial-integrity best practices, JMIR is a reliable, high-impact platform for researchers and a trusted institution for anyone looking to explore our published work.
JMIR is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of scientific rigor and visibility across our entire portfolio of open-access journals. To ensure global discoverability and academic trust, our journals are systematically indexed in leading industry databases, including PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Web of Science. Our publications consistently earn strong Journal Impact Factors (JIF) and CiteScores, frequently ranking in the top quartiles of their respective fields, such as Medical Informatics and Health Care Sciences.

Redefining Scholarly Publishing for the Digital Age
In the late 1990s, our founder, Dr. Gunther Eysenbach, experienced a frustration that remains all too familiar to the global academic and medical communities. As a medical researcher and informatician, he saw firsthand how legacy publishing models were stifling progress. Crucial research at the emerging intersection of health and technology was being trapped behind expensive paywalls and delayed by agonizingly slow publication timelines. The status quo of scholarly communication was failing the very people it was meant to serve: researchers, clinicians, and patients.
