The Journal of Addiction Medicine's (JAM) Impact Factor (IF), is 4.2, as released in June 2024 by Clarivate’s Journal Citation Reports. The IF metric is a ratio of the number of citations received in 2023 for articles published in 2022 and 2023 and the total number of citable articles that JAM published in 2022 and 2023.
Journal Ranking: Clarivate ranked the journal 5th out of 55 journals in the Substance Abuse” category, putting it among the top 10 percent of journals in this category. This reflects JAM’s improved performance, as the number of journals more than doubled (21 to 55) in the Substance Abuse category this year.
