Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
Artificial Intelligence in Medicine publishes original articles from a wide variety of interdisciplinary perspectives concerning the theory and practice of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, medically-oriented human biology, and health care.Artificial intelligence in medicine may be characterized as the scientific discipline pertaining to research studies, projects, and applications that aim at supporting decision-based medical tasks through knowledge- and/or data-intensive computer-based solutions that ultimately support and improve the performance of a human care provider.Artificial Intelligence in Medicine considers for publication manuscripts that have both:• Potential high impact in some medical or healthcare domain; • Strong novelty of method and theory related to AI and computer science techniques.Artificia... Intelligence in Medicine papers must refer to real-world medical domains, considered and discussed at the proper depth, from both the technical and the medical points of view. The inclusion of a clinical assessment of the usefulness and potential impact of the submitted work is strongly recommended.Artifici... Intelligence in Medicine is looking for novelty in the methodological and/or theoretical content of submitted papers. Such kind of novelty has to be mainly acknowledged in the area of AI and Computer Science. Methodological papers deal with the proposal of some strategy and related methods to solve some scientific issues in specific domains. They must show, usually through an experimental evaluation, how the proposed methodology can be applied to medicine, medically-oriented human biology, and health care, respectively. They have also to provide a comparison with other proposals, and explicitly discuss elements of novelty. Theoretical papers focus on more fundamental, general and formal topics of AI and must show the novel expected effects of the proposed solution in some medical or healthcare field.Following the information explosion brought by the diffusion of Internet, social networks, cloud computing, and big-data platforms, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine has broadened its perspective. Particular attention is given to novel research work pertaining to:AI-based clinical decision making;Medical knowledge engineering;Knowledg... and agent-based systems;Computationa... intelligence in bio- and clinical medicine;Intelligent and process-aware information systems in healthcare and medicine;Natural language processing in medicine;Data analytics and mining for biomedical decision support;New computational platforms and models for biomedicine;Intellig... exploitation of heterogeneous data sources aimed at supporting decision-based and data-intensive clinical tasks;Intelligent devices and instruments;Automate... reasoning and meta-reasoning in medicine;Machine learning in medicine, medically-oriented human biology, and healthcare;AI and data science in medicine, medically-oriented human biology, and healthcare;AI-based modeling and management of healthcare pathways and clinical guidelines;Models and systems for AI-based population health;AI in medical and healthcare education;Methodolog... philosophical, ethical, and social issues of AI in healthcare, medically-oriented human biology, and medicine.If you are considering submitting to Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, make sure that your paper meets the quality requirements mentioned above. English exposition must also be clear and revised with due care. Authors are kindly requested to revise their manuscripts with the help of co-authors that are fluent in English or language editing services before submitting their contribution. Papers written in poor English are likely to be rejected.The mere application of well-known or already published algorithms and techniques to medical data is not regarded as original research work of interest for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, but it may be suitable for other venues.Artificial Intelligence in Medicine features the following kinds of papers:Original research contributions: Theoretical and/or methodological papers about novel approaches;Methodolo... reviews/surveys: Papers that collect, classify, describe, and critically analyze research designs, methods and procedures;Position papers: Papers that gather, describe, and analyze the scientific challenges of a specific field, founding them on the related literature;Editorial... Editors will occasionally publish editorials;Guest editorials: Editors can invite guest editors of special issues to publish editorials. Unsolicited editorials will not be considered;Letters to the editor: Letters from readers shortly discussing and commenting on a topic of interest, for example based on recently published articles in the journal Artificial Intelligence in Medicine;Book reviews: A critical review of recently published books;Erratum: Some specific corrections to results previously published in the journal Artificial Intelligence in Medicine;Historical perspectives: Papers that describe and critically review some specific aspects in the history of scientific contributions and applications;In memoriam: Papers describing the life and the main scientific contributions of scientists passed away, having had an important role in the area of artificial intelligence in medicine;PhD projects: Early publications about more recent research trends, having the goal of allowing PhD candidates to explain their PhD research project and to share it with other scientists interested in the topic. Such type of papers should focus on the overall goals and approaches of PhD research projects, without considering in detail the specific scientific results obtained, which would be the focus of other research articles.Special Issues are regularly published and included among regular issues. Artificial Intelligence in Medicine special issues deal with current theoretical/methodol... research or convincing applications related to AI in medicine. Special Issues are managed by one or more guest editors who are outstanding experts on the selected topic.Special Issues of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine are directly proposed to potential guest editors by the Editor in Chief, also according to suggestions from the editorial board members."External" proposals of Special Issues will no longer be considered.Artificia... Intelligence in Medicine does not publish conference volumes or conference papers. However, selected and high-quality research results presented earlier at conferences may be published in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, in the form of a thoroughly revised (rephrased) and extended (including new research results) original research paper.Information for authors and further details about the editorial process can be found in the Guide for Authors section of the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine web page.

International Journal of Medical Informatics
Official journal of the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) and IMIA.International Journal of Medical Informatics provides an international medium for dissemination of original results and interpretative reviews concerning the field of medical informatics. The journal emphasizes the development, use, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of information and communication technologies (ICT) in healthcare settings, including consumer health, public health, clinical care, telehealth, education, clinical research, policies, and regulations considering security, privacy, and the ethical use of ICT resources at local, national, and global levels to improve population care delivery. The scope of journal covers:Information systems, including national or international registration systems, hospital information systems, departmental and/or clinician’s office systems, document handling systems, clinical information systems, electronic medical record systems, personal health records, public and population health informatics, consumer health systems, digital health, digital ecosystem, terminologies and standardization, systems integration and interoperability, among other topics on the scenario of delivering patient care through information and communication technology devices. Computer-assisted medical decision support systems that use heuristics, data structures, algorithms, and statistical methods exemplified in decision theory, protocol development, and artificial intelligence, including techniques for discovering new knowledge. Note that studies in AI will be considered if they are integrated into clinical systems or evaluate the impact caused on clinical implementations.Educ... information and communication technology-based programs pertaining to medical informatics in general, including organizational, educational framework, curriculum content, economics evaluation, social and clinical impact, ethical and cost-benefit aspects of ICT applications in health care.Patient safety, data privacy, security and confidentiality requirements, legal regulation, policies process, system assessment, maturity models evaluation and governance for ICT. The journal is in the healthcare domain. As an international journal, methodology plays a crucial role in allowing researchers from different countries to acquire knowledge and benefits from the steps followed to obtain results and evidence in using ICT in healthcare delivery. Results are often not transferable, but researchers can pursue and use methods in various scenarios.If the article is on artificial intelligence using machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, predictive modelling and related topics, authors MUST add relevant information as an appendix to allow better evaluation, transparency, and reproducibility. Many studies currently use models, algorithms, and in silico evaluation. In this case, we recommend a practical clinical application or a test with a different dataset than the one used to design the algorithm or model – an evaluation performed with data from other facilities is recommended. In other words, the dataset must be different (origin and testing). In addition, it would be helpful for authors to highlight the study’s limitations, particularly in cases where the testing is not feasible. Predictive modeling (based on deep learning or machine learning techniques) applied to image analysis can significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy when integrated into hospital electronic health records. IJMEDI's scope allows the acceptance of primary research articles or reviews on image analysis that have been validated on external datasets (different from those used for development and training) and, possibly, integrated into clinical workflow or that have developed novel approaches using multimodality data. Articles that only focus on methodological approaches, analytical frameworks, or studies reporting algorithm performance in medical image analysis without a clear clinical contribution described above are considered out of scope for IJMEDI.Again, note that IJMEDI is not interested in the model description or the comparison of framework performance with no novelty on the method or deployment. The scope is to focus on the results of ICT in clinical practice. The IJMI is interested in robust evaluation and intervention studies in clinical practice applications. Faced with so many studies using models, algorithms, in silico evaluation, it is demanded a practical clinical application (different dataset for validation) with significant meaning for providers and patients. Studies on models and descriptions must be advanced and show how much the contribution is evident for international readers and researchers. Most studies only evaluated model performance, but no usability and impact evaluation. It is necessary to advance and demonstrate impact on clinical practices.Please also consult the IJMEDI editorials which details the checklist for machine learning checklist (https://www.science... and the scope of AI for the IJMEDI journal (https://www.science... Authors may also consider other journals addressing artificial intelligence in medicine and methods (Medical Informatics Journals | Elsevier).The scope does not cover bibliometric or scientometric studies or similar studies using those methods.

Journal of Biomedical Informatics
The premier methodology journal in the fieldThe Journal of Biomedical Informatics (JBI) is the premier methodology journal in the field of biomedical informatics. JBI publishes research on new methodologies and techniques that have general applicability and form the basis for the evolving science of biomedical informatics. Papers should focus on a real-world biomedical or clinical problem, develop a novel approach to address the problem, and evaluate its appropriateness in comparison to the current state-of-the-art (SoA) methods. Involvement of healthcare professionals in motivating the work and evaluation of results is expected.Focus Areas and Topics of InterestJBI seeks to publish papers that make a conceptual contribution to the field, typically by describing an innovation in methodology or technique or by discussing substantive generalizable lessons that have been learned in the context of an informatics project. When a methodological contribution has a theoretical basis, that theory is an appropriate emphasis for papers as well. Research papers may also present a novel "method of methods" explaining how to apply the existing methods to a space of biomedical problems that share unique characteristics influencing the choice of methods.JBI publishes papers on a wide range of informatics topics. However, across these topics, papers must build on deep understanding and utilization of medical domain knowledge and should consider pragmatic translation for clinical care or applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) clinical decision support, patient safety, natural language processing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, knowledge representation for healthcare, translational bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, and clinical informatics. Additional considerations for papers in the areas of translational bioinformatics, machine learning, security and privacy are provided below. Irrespective of the topic, papers must focus on novel informatics methods and its comparison to the current approaches.Manuscrip... can be submitted in the following categories: original research, methodological review, commentaries, special communication, letters to the editor, book reviews, and editorials (see additional details on each of these categories below). Given the international readership of JBI, country-specific health systems or approaches will be considered only if they offer generalizable lessons that are relevant to the broader readership, regardless of their country, language, culture, or health system.Specific considerations for manuscripts in certain topical areas have also been provided in recent editorials.If you are considering an article with a focus on translational bioinformatics , please read this editorial. Biologic discoveries based on the use of routine informatics techniques may be important biologic contributions, but are not suitable for JBI. In addition, please note that JBI publishes bioinformatics papers only if they deal with issues in translational (human) science (e.g., translational bioinformatics papers).If you are considering an article describing a new machine learning approach, please read this editorial. Machine learning papers would be considered only if the methods that are introduced demonstrate substantial novelty and advancement beyond the current SoA and their evaluation is sound and includes an assessment of the potential of the method to be used in clinical practice. For example, submissions reporting publishing marginally SoA findings without an in-depth analysis or discussion of how the methods are potentially generalizable (or applicable in a wider setting) would not be considered. Novel and important clinical problems addressed by existing machine learning methods may warrant Special Communication papers if their discussion includes novel insights or lessons learned for future research in such domains.Authors considering an article on biomedical privacy and security, please read this editorial. To be considered, the privacy and security methods that are introduced should demonstrate substantial novelty and advancement beyond the SoA, should be specific to the biomedical informatics domain, and their practical application and/or likely real-world usefulness in the biomedical domain.Please also note that papers related to signal processing, imaging, medical devices, or communication networks are generally considered outside the scope of the journal. To be considered, such papers must introduce novel informatics methods that build on deep understanding and utilization of medical domain knowledge and should be translatable into applications. Papers on such topics should focus on information processing and management or knowledge-based approaches.Please also consult the editorial that explains where to direct Artificial Intelligence in Medicine-related manuscripts for peer review and possible publication, considering the different scope of the three Elsevier medical informatics journals: JBI, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, and Intelligence-based Medicine.
