The JAMA Network will launch a new online general medical journal, JAMA Network Open, in early 2018. The new journal will publish peer-reviewed, fully open-access clinical research across all medical disciplines. “Open access” is free, immediate, online availability of research articles that permits others to access, read and reuse the content.
The weekly journal will be the 13th journal in The JAMA Network, which includes JAMA and 11 other specialty journals. The newest journal follows the launch of JAMA Oncology in 2015 and JAMA Cardiology in 2016, which are hybrid journals offering open access for research articles.
The founding editor-in-chief of JAMA Network Open will be Frederick P. Rivara, MD, MPH, now editor-in-chief of JAMA Pediatrics. Dr. Rivara is Seattle Children’s Guild Endowed Chair in Pediatrics, professor of pediatrics and adjunct professor of epidemiology at the University of Washington.
"Our editorial goal is to publish the very best clinical research across all disciplines, serving the worldwide community of investigators and clinicians and meeting the evolving needs and requirements of authors and funders", Dr. Rivara and his co-authors wrote in an editorial published in JAMA. The editorial was co-written by JAMA Network Editor-in-Chief Howard Bauchner, MD, JAMA Network Publisher Thomas J. Easley, and Annette Flanagin, the executive managing editor of JAMA and JAMA Network.
