As for the review process, authors must provide details of any conflicts of interests, so that the review can \u201cbe handled by ones of the other editors.\u201d12<\/sup><\/p>\n Editorial tone:\u00a0<\/strong>Scholarly.13<\/sup><\/p>\n Style guide used:\u00a0<\/strong>The journal asks authors to use footnotes and format their references according to Medline style.14<\/sup><\/p>\n JAMIA\u00a0<\/em>is a great publication for LIS authors familiar with informatics, health sciences, etc. It explores topics LIS professionals are familiar with, including social media, the ethics of various information dissemination methods, etc.15<\/sup>\u00a0Health informatics professionals, as well as medical librarians with knowledge of these topics will feel right at home with this publication.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Publication circulation:\u00a0<\/strong>Although exact circulation statistics are unavailable, all members of the American Medical Informatics Association receive a subscription to\u00a0JAMIA<\/em>.16<\/sup>\u00a0AMIA has over 5,400 members,17<\/sup>\u00a0though\u00a0JAMIA<\/em>\u2018s readership is likely higher than this figure, since articles are freely available on\u00a0JAMIA\u2019<\/em>s website and PubMed Central.18<\/sup><\/p>\n Audience location:\u00a0<\/strong>Because this journal is the official journal of the American Medical Informatics Association,19<\/sup>\u00a0it stands to reason that the majority of readers will live in the U.S. At the same time,\u00a0JAMIA\u00a0<\/em>is published by the Oxford University Press in the United Kingdom20<\/sup>\u00a0and features articles concerning biomedical data sharing as a whole. Thus, the journal has articles of interest to English-speaking biomedical professionals worldwide.<\/p>\n Reader characteristics:\u00a0<\/strong>The majority of readers will be healthcare professionals with specialized knowledge of bioinformatics.21<\/sup><\/p>\n Knowledge of LIS subject matter:\u00a0<\/strong>Because\u00a0JAMIA\u00a0<\/em>is first and foremost a medical publication within the highly specialized field of bioinformatics, most readers will be more familiar with medical terminology than LIS terminology. Thus, while medical terms can\u2014and should\u2014be used freely, LIS terms should be used sparingly and defined where necessary.<\/p>\n Because the majority of readers will come from highly technical backgrounds, authors should ground their articles in methodical, well-documented research. Additionally, authors should\u2014at the very least\u2014have taken a class in health informatics. Ideally, however, authors will be healthcare professionals (including medical librarians) with extensive knowledge of bioinformatics.<\/p>\n Last updated:\u00a0<\/strong>April 18, 2018<\/p>\n Publication analysis About the publication Title:\u00a0Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA) ISSN:\u00a01067-5027 (Print) and\u00a01527-974X (Online)1 Website:\u00a0JAMIA Home Purpose, objective, or mission:\u00a0\u201cJAMIA\u00a0is AMIA\u2019s premier peer-reviewed journal for biomedical and health informatics.\u201d2\u00a0\u201cJAMIA\u00a0articles describe innovative informatics research and systems that help to advance biomedical science and to promote health.\u201d3 Target audience:\u00a0\u201cPhysicians, informaticians, scientists, nurses and other […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":772,"featured_media":0,"parent":2013,"menu_order":34,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2161","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/772"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2161"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3508,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2161\/revisions\/3508"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/infosci\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}About the publication\u2019s submission guidelines<\/h3>\n
