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 2014 impact factor of 3.428, ranking it third out of 24 journals in the category "Medical Informatics"[1] and ninth among 88 journals in the category "Health Care Sciences & Services".[2] The journal was incorporated as JMIR Publications in 2011 and was a cofounder of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association.
Shortly after incorporation, several spin-off journals were launched, focusing on specific subtopics within eHealth, such as mHealth, serious games, mental health, and cancer.
JMIR has faced criticism for using the editorial board of its main journal for its spin-off journals and for offering a fast-track review pathway for a surcharge.[3] Eysenbach, the editor-in-chief, has commented that the spin-off journals will eventually have their own boards and that the fast-track option does not affect the quality or integrity of its peer-review processes.
