ISRAEL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION JOURNAL

The ISRAEL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION JOURNAL (IMAJ) is a peer-reviewed medical journal with the ISSN号1565-1088, published monthly in Israel by the Israel Medical Association. The journal is not open access (OA) and is indexed in SCIE (Science Citation Index Expanded). Its latest impact factor is around 1.5, and it is classified in the fourth quartile (Q4) of the中国科学院分区 system. IMAJ focuses on a broad range of medical research, including clinical medicine, public health, and biomedical sciences, with an emphasis on studies relevant to the Middle East region. The journal publishes original research articles, review papers, case reports, and editorials, often highlighting local healthcare challenges and innovations. While IMAJ is recognized for its regional contributions, its relatively low impact factor and Q4 ranking indicate limited international influence. Potential risks for authors include lower visibility compared to higher-impact journals, though it remains a reputable platform for region-specific research. Overall, IMAJ serves as a valuable resource for medical professionals in Israel and neighboring areas, but its global reach and impact are modest.
