About the journal
The "Journal of Medical Internet Research" (JMIR; Medline-abbreviation: J Med Internet Res), founded in 1999, was the first (and remains the only) international scientific peer-reviewed journal on all aspects of research, information and communication in the healthcare field using Internet and other eHealth technologies [see also What is eHealth and What is eHealth (2)]. This field has also significant overlaps with what is called "consumer health informatics.". As the field evolves, despite having "Internet" in its title, the journal also publishes original research on development, evaluation, and application of other (non-Internet) cutting-edge e-technologies in the health care setting. We are different from other medical informatics journals in that we are targeting a broad readership consisting of health professionals, policy makers, consumers, health informaticians, developers, researchers, hospital and health care administrators, and e-health businesses, rather than reaching only a small medical informatics community.
We aim to become the highest-impact medical informatics journal, which, due to our reach and our Open Access policy, is an ambitious but entirely realistic goal. Articles in JMIR already have more readers than any other journal with a comparable scope.
As eHealth is a highly interdisciplinary field we are not only inviting research papers from the medical sciences, but also from the computer, behavioral, social and communication sciences, psychology, library sciences, informatics, human-computer interaction studies, and related fields.
Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts must broadly comply to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals published by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors and (more important to read!) to our more specific Instructions for Authors. In addition, the submission of multimedia appendices (eg. a Powerpoint Presentation) and raw data (stored in database tables etc.) is encouraged. Manuscripts must be submitted via our web-based manuscript submission system. Submissions via email or mailed submissions on paper are not accepted.

Please only apply if you have extensive experience in editing medical manuscripts according to AMA Style and if you have a sound understanding of how statistics in medicine should be reported.

Acknowledgements The Journal of Medical Internet Research is a non-profit academic project, by eHealth researchers for eHealth researchers, without involvement of any major publishers. We are convinced that the Internet opens novel ways to publish and peer-review scholarly work independently from any of the large publishing houses, and this Journal is a living example. We also think that research work should remain the property of the creator and be distributed under an Open Access model (as opposed to researchers signing away the copyright of their work). The Journal of Medical Internet Research is supported by the individual grants held by the researchers who publish in JMIR (through the Article Processing Fees) as well as through a network of individual and institutional members forming a "Network of Excellence in eHealth Research" and supporting this unique knowledge dissemination project. Please consider to join the network to support JMIR. We thank the Open Society Institute and Soros Foundation for their small grants to support publication of works from authors from less developed countries. The Journal of Medical Internet Research had been made possible with initial support of Symposion Publishing, Duesseldorf, in particular with support of Dr. Niklas Stiller and Klaus Wrede. From 2000-2001 the Journal was published and hosted by the University of Heidelberg, Dept. of Clinical Social Medicine. As of May 2002, the Journal is now hosted at the Centre for Global eHealth Innovation, Toronto, Canada.

Information for potential peer reviewers, editorial board members and guest editors Editorial board members We will constantly expand our editorial board. If you are interested in being on the board, you must fulfill two requirements:
1) Having published at least one article in JMIR, 2) Having peer-reviewed at least one article for JMIR.
If you meet both requirements, send a brief email to the editor-in-chief (email address see above). Enclose a full list of publications, a list of funded research as principal investigator, and activities as editorial board member or referee for other journals or research programs. Simultaneous membership of editorial boards of other journals or newsletters closely related to the area of Internet and Medicine must be disclosed.
Peer-reviewers wanted ! We are actively looking for peer-reviewers from all specialties. Peer-reviewers should be experienced researchers who have published Medline-indexed peer-reviewed papers before. If you want to be added to our peer-reviewers database, please log-in (if you have already an account) or register as a user in our web-based manuscript tracking system. Note that all corresponding authors of published JMIR articles are automatically added to our peer-reviewers database and may occasionally be invited to comment on articles related to their subject area. Guest editors We are also constantly looking for guest editors who wish to compile a theme issue on a special subtopic (for example: electronic publishing, telemedicine, quality of health information, patient education, decision-support, Internet in psychiatry). This may be particularly interesting for conference organizers putting together a congress on an Internet-related topic.
The task of a guest editor is generally
to solicit manuscripts from colleagues concerning the selected topic, to select peer-reviewers for incoming manuscripts, to make decisions (together with the editorial board) on article revisions and acceptance, and to write an editorial for the theme issue. Conference organizers may also consider using JMIR to publishing the abstracts and/or full papers of their conference in a supplement (for example: Proceedings of the 4th World Congress on Internet in Medicine).
Alternately, the abstracts of the conference may published in a supplement, with selected full papers published later in a theme issue or in regular JMIR issues.
Societies and associations affiliated with JMIR As of December 6th, 2002, the Journal of Medical Internet Research has been designated as Official Journal of the Internet HealthCare Coalition (see Press Release) . The Journal of Medical Internet Research is also an Official Journal of the Society for Internet in Medicine.
As the field is rapidly expanding, many national and international organisations are currently being created, dealing with the issues covered by this journal. We are constantly seeking to establish more formal links with societies, associations, or other entities, particularly those who are active in the field of medical informatics, consumer health informatics, or eHealth, by inviting them to become affiliated with the Journal of Medical Internet Research.
The Journal of Medical Internet Research can for example enhance the attractiveness of becoming member in your society/association, by offering discounted article processing fees for association members.
If desired, representatives from affiliated societies may become Associate Editors, coordinating submissions from the society, compiling special sections of the journal or taking part in the general editorial and peer-reviewing processes and decisions.
The affiliation of the Journal of Medical Internet Research with the society may also be made visible by introducing a new subtitle "Official Journal of the Society ... / Association for ....".
If you are interested in discussing any of these arrangements, contact the editor-in-chief with information about your position within the society, information about the mission of the society, number of members, and which affiliation model you would favor. We are also open to new ideas of collaboration and partnerships.
Distribution on CD-ROM Organizations which plan to produce CD-ROMs with a scholarly topic related to the topic of the journal are invited to include the entire archive of the Journal of Medical Internet Research on their CD-ROM. No license fees are due if the CD-ROMs are distributed free of charge to scientists. For example, a full copy of the entire journal was included on a CD-ROM containing lectures of the Supercourse project, which was distributed to more than 3.000 epidemiologists all over the world. If your organizations plans to produce a CD-ROM and if you are interested to include the Journal of Medical Internet Research, please contact the editor.
