History

Japan Medical Publishers (JMP) Inc (日本医事新報社, Nihon Iji Shinpo Sha)., had published medical research in Chinese and Japanese through the Japan Medical Journal (JMJ) (日本医事新報, Nihon iji shinpo) since 1921.

In 1958, JMP published the first issue of the Asian Medical Journal, an English language publication, to further medical research to Japan and the Asian region [3] The first issue included a message from president of the Japan Red Cross Society, stating the ongoing human suffering caused by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and that the knowledge published in the new journal, would hopefully help to bring an end to the severe burden of disease caused by acute radiation poisoning. [4]

In 1960, the Japan Medical Association assumed editorial responsibility for the journal, and in 1984 took over the publication rights. The journal's title was changed to the Japan Medical Association Journal (JMAJ) in 2001. Since 2014 the JMAJ has been available through PubMed Central.
