The Journal of Clinical Investigation is a top-tier venue for critical advances in biomedical 
research. The JCI combines a 2011 Impact Factor of 13.069 with immediate free access to its research articles to produce an ideal venue for authors seeking the widest possible audience for their most important work. The journal is headed by Editor in Chief Dr. Howard Rockman and an Editorial Board of peer scientists at Duke University Medical Center, the University of North Carolina, Duke-NUS, and Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute whose depth and experience ensure fair and competent peer review.
In addition to the high-impact research that the JCI has always published, the journal accepts submissions in two other categories: Brief Reports and Technical Advances (see list). Brief Reports are discrete, highly significant findings reported in a shorter format. Technical Advances report new and important research tools and techniques with broad impact; these submissions should include application of the technique to a specific question relevant to understanding or treating a disease.
