Chevy Chase, MD—The Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM) was recently named in the Special Library Association’s list of the most influential journals of biology and medicine over the last 100 years. JCEM has been in publication since 1941.

“This is a great honor and a credit to all of the Journal’s editors over the years,” said Dr. Paul Ladenson, MD, Editor-in-Chief of JCEM. “I am repeatedly amazed by all of the important biomedical advances that first appeared in JCEM.”

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism is the world's leading peer-reviewed journal for endocrine clinical research and cutting-edge clinical practice reviews. Each issue provides the latest in-depth coverage of new developments enhancing the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of endocrine and metabolic disorders. Regular features in the journal include clinical trials, clinical reviews, clinical practice guidelines, case seminars and controversies in clinical endocrinology, as well as original reports of the most important advances in patient-oriented endocrine and metabolic research.

The BioMedical & Life Sciences Division of the Special Library Association recruited multiple panels of experts to compose a series of voter preference questions to compare journals. The questions were then submitted to the 686 members of the BioMedical & Life Sciences Division to decide the 100 most influential medicine and biology journals of the last century.
