The Journal of Investigative Medicine is the official journal of the American Federation for Medical Research (AFMR), an international multidisciplinary association of scientists engaged in all areas of biomedical investigation: patient-oriented, translational, and basic research. Published eight issues per year, the Journal is a major platform for physician-scientists, those with a clinical/translational focus, and those with a basic science focus.
The Journal of Investigative Medicine offers original, peer-reviewed investigations and articles detailing the latest developments in interdisciplinary medical research. The Journal also includes information about changes affecting the biomedical research community; interviews with prominent members of the scientific community; news on Federal regulatory changes; and professional recruitment and research funding guides. Abstract issues published twice per year contain programs and abstracts of AFMR's regional and national meetings and those of 16 other societies that meet jointly with AFMR.
