The Quality and Influence of JAMA-Reply

Abstract
In Reply. —I found Dr Hecht's note to be stimulating since it is at variance with virtually all of the other feedback we receive. Most readers tell us that theJAMAof recent years is the best it has ever been. As our regular readers know, we function under a key objective and ten critical objectives and grade ourselves constantly against these.1In addition, we regularly use about two dozen indicators to judgeJAMAand our nine American Medical Association specialty journals. These indicators are as follows: domestic and foreign circulation and readership, advertising revenue,Science Citation Indexscores, quality of editorial boards, number of manuscripts received, manuscript acceptance rates, number and types of editorial categories, number of pages, turnaround time to publication, print and electronic media attention, results of readership surveys and focus groups, published corrections rates, number and quality of peer reviewers, peer review of the journals
