ISRAEL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION JOURNAL

The Israel Medical Association Journal (IMAJ), identified by ISSN 1565-1088, is a peer-reviewed medical publication issued monthly by the Israel Medical Association in Israel. As a subscription-based journal indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), IMAJ serves as a dedicated forum for disseminating original research, review articles, case reports, and editorials across a broad spectrum of clinical medicine, public health, and biomedical sciences. The journal places particular emphasis on healthcare challenges and innovations relevant to the Middle East region, thereby providing a vital platform for medical professionals in Israel and neighboring areas to share region-specific insights. While IMAJ maintains a reputable standing as a resource for local and regional medical communities, its current impact factor of approximately 1.5 and classification in the fourth quartile (Q4) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal ranking system reflect a more modest global influence compared to higher-impact international journals. Consequently, authors may experience lower international visibility, yet the journal remains a significant venue for contributing to the specific medical landscape of the region.
