JMIR Publications Inc.

JMIR Publications Inc. is a rapidly growing innovative academic publisher. It builds on the success of JMIR (Journal of Medical Internet Research), which started in 1998 as a small independent open access project hosted at a university, which subsequently grew into the most influential journal in medical informatics (ranked #1 by Impact Factor by Thomson Reuters for three years, 2011 IF: 4.4) and health services research (ranked #2 by Thomson Reuters for three years). Due to the growth in influence and submissions, and to make the operations more sustainable and professional, the journal was incorporated as company in 2011. Shortly after incorporation, several spin-off journals were launched. Currently, JMIR Publications Inc. publishes the following journals:

JMIR (Journal of Medical Internet Research) (ISSN 1438-8871) http://www.jmir.org/
