This made me count the journals in which I had published. It fell far short of the century, but from then on I kept a running total. My colleague Doug Altman and I amused ourselves by competing as to who could reach 100 first. He won by several years. I got there in 2004.
It is often not clear what constitutes a publication, or an academic journal. I included scientific articles, refereed or not, book reviews, editorials, and letters, but not meeting abstracts. I included among my journals the popular science journal New Scientist, but not the newspaper The Guardian.
This is not a serious enterprise, but strictly for fun. In that spirit, here are my first 100 journals:

AIDS

The hundredth journal was the European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, in March 2004. I have now reached 160.
Are there fields other than medical statistics in which it is easy to publish in 100 different journals? If you have done it, let me know. Mail to martin.bland@york.ac.uk.
