The JMA Journal is a quarterly general medical journal. The journal was first published in 1958 as the Asian Medical Journal, and from 2001 to 2016 known as Japan Medical Association Journal. The journal ceased operation in 2017, resuming one year later in 2018 under the current title. Originally published by Japan Medical Publishing Inc., the journal is now owned and published by the Japan Medical Association.[1][2]

JMAJ publishes by author invitation only, original research articles, review articles ("seminars" and "reviews"), editorials, book reviews, correspondence, as well as news features and case reports. The journal publishes invited articles and does not accept unsolicited submissions. The current (2017) editor-in-chief is Mari Michinaga.

JMAJ also reports news related to the Japan Medical Association's international engagement, including regional World Medical Association (WMA) projects, and Confederation of Medical Associations in Asia and Oceania (CMAAO) activities.
