(Toronto, ON, June 19, 2025) JMIR Publications is pleased to announce that JMIR Formative Research has received an improved Journal Impact Factor of 2.1, as published in the Journal Citation Reports 2025 from Clarivate.
JMIR Formative Research maintains an important position in publishing process evaluations, early results, and feasibility/pilot studies of digital and nondigital interventions. JMIR Formative Research fills an important gap in the academic journal landscape, as it publishes sound and peer-reviewed formative research that can be critical to investigators’ applications for further funding for broader studies in their field but is usually not published in outcomes-focused medical journals aiming for impact and generalizability.
This year’s Journal Impact Factor (2024 data) for JMIR Formative Research reflects the high-quality and impactful research contributed by the published authors, the rigorous work of peer reviewers, and the dedication of editors and journal staff.

JMIR Publications recommends that authors and other parties consider alternative metrics, in combination with the Journal Impact Factor, when assessing a journal’s standing and impact. While proud of its Journal Impact Factor rankings, JMIR Publications discourages misuse of citation-based impact scores.
