APA puts the year directly after the authors, keeps the full journal title in italics, and renders the DOI as a URL.

What to verify before you submit
- The volume and page range. The Journal of Experimental Medicine records 26,087 works, and articles published online first can carry a different volume from the final issue. Cite the version you read.
- The abbreviated title. IEEE style uses standard periodical abbreviations, and registry metadata almost always returns the full name instead.
- Author name order. Registry records store full given names; IEEE and APA both want initials, formatted differently from each other.
- Whether the article is open access. This journal is not fully open access, which affects whether a reader can reach the version you cited.
- That the source supports your claim. A correctly formatted reference says nothing about whether the passage backs the sentence citing it.
How this journal sits in the record
The Journal of Experimental Medicine carries an h-index of 653, which is above 96% of the journals covered here, and its articles have accumulated 3,307,180 citations across 26,087 indexed works. Its two-year mean citedness is 9.66.
2 of the journals covered here are published by Rockefeller University Press. Reference style is set per title rather than per publisher, so do not carry a format across from a sibling journal without checking.
These are indexing figures describing how often work in this venue is cited. They say nothing about whether a particular article is sound, and they are not a substitute for reading it.
Questions about The Journal of Experimental Medicine
What is the ISSN of The Journal of Experimental Medicine?
The linking ISSN is 0022-1007. The journal also carries 1540-9538, which usually separate the print and electronic editions. Use the linking ISSN in a BibTeX issn field.
Who publishes The Journal of Experimental Medicine?
Rockefeller University Press publishes it. 2 journals covered here come from the same publisher, and they do not all share one reference style, so check the requirements for this title rather than the publisher.
Is The Journal of Experimental Medicine open access?
OpenAlex does not record it as fully open access. Some articles may still be open individually, so check the specific article rather than assuming from the journal.
How do I cite an article from The Journal of Experimental Medicine in LaTeX?
Use the BibTeX entry above as the pattern. The entry type is article, the journal field holds the full title, and the citation key freeman2000 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.
Does The Journal of Experimental Medicine use page numbers or article numbers?
The example article runs from page 1027 to 1034, so this journal used page ranges at least for that volume. Newer issues in many journals switched to article numbers, so check the version you are citing.
How influential is The Journal of Experimental Medicine?
Its h-index is 653, above 96% of the journals covered here, and its articles have been cited 3,307,180 times in total. Its two-year mean citedness is 9.66. These are indexing figures, not a judgement of whether a specific article is sound.
Does The Journal of Experimental Medicine have a Journal Impact Factor?
Not one shown here. The Journal Impact Factor is Clarivate's metric, published in Journal Citation Reports and readable only with a JCR subscription, so this page does not restate it. The figures above come from OpenAlex: an h-index of 653 and a two-year mean citedness of 9.66 across 26,087 indexed works, captured on 2026-09-18. Mean citedness averages citations per work over a two-year window, which makes it closer in construction to CiteScore than to the Impact Factor. The three are not interchangeable, so quote whichever one your target venue actually asks for.
