Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine (YJBM)
The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine is a PubMed-indexed, open-access, quarterly journal edited by Yale medical, graduate, and professional students and peer-reviewed by an extensive network of experts in the fields of biology and medicine. The Journal aims to showcase outstanding research articles from all areas of biology and medicine, to publish significant case reviews, and to provide both perspectives on personal experiences in medicine and reviews of the current state of biology and medicine.
The YJBM has a current Scopus CiteScore of 5.1 for 2024. The Journal is also ranked #93/668 in the category of General Medicine and #70/225 in the category of BioChemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology by Scopus. The YJBM has also been given an Impact Factor of 3.9 for 2024.
To all interested authors: Starting in June 2015, YJBM began devoting entire issues to its focus topics. This means that all manuscripts in an issue will be related to the focus topic. As a result, we will not be considering off-topic manuscripts.
