International Journal of Medical Informatics
Official journal of the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) and IMIA.The International Journal of Medical Informatics (IJMI) provides an international medium for the dissemination of original results and interpretative reviews in the field of medical informatics. As a leading international venue for health informatics research, IJMI has moved from concept to clinic, rigorously evaluated when deployed at scale in real-world settings. The journal serves a global audience with cross-national, comparative evidence on informatics performance across diverse regulatory, linguistic, cultural, and healthcare system contexts. The journal focuses on the design, development, integration, implementation, deployment, evaluation, and application of information and communication technologies (ICT) in healthcare. Submissions are expected to prioritize implementation fidelity, measurable clinical/population impact, equity, sustainability, and long-term governance over algorithmic novelty alone. IJMI seeks high-impact contributions in several priority areas, including AI implementation and governance, interoperability at scale, clinical implementation science, digital health equity, policy and workforce development, clinical decision support systems, health management information systems, interoperability across healthcare information systems and services, and human factors, safety, and experience. These priorities reflect the journal’s commitment to publishing rigorous and consequential informatics research that advances patient care, clinician well-being, health equity, and system performance worldwide.In scope:Health information systems, including national/internation... registries, hospital and clinical information systems, electronic medical/health records, consumer informatics, public/population health informatics, digital ecosystems, terminologies and standards, human-computer interaction, user adoption and acceptance, systems integration, and interoperability—in support of patient care delivery through ICT.Clinical decision support systems and AI, systems that employ heuristics, algorithms, data structures, statistical methods, decision theory, protocol-based reasoning, and artificial intelligence, including knowledge discovery techniques. Studies focusing solely on AI, ML, deep learning, or large language models will only be considered when integrated into clinical systems demonstrating impact by robust external validation and comprehensive clinical outcome evaluation.Education and workforce, ICT-based educational programs, digital literacy initiatives, and informatics training including organizational frameworks, curricula design, economic evaluations, social and clinical impact assessments, and ethical/cost-benefit analyses of healthcare applications.Evidenc... synthesis, literature reviews (systematic, scoping, integrative, critical, meta-analytic) that contribute to clinical informatics knowledge base through the evaluation of ICT applications (e.g., telehealth, AI, cybersecurity, electronic health/patient records) in clinical practice.Safety and policy, research addressing patient safety, data privacy, security, confidentiality, legal/regulatory frameworks, policy processes, system maturity models, and ICT governance in healthcare delivery.As an international journal in medical informatics, the publication prioritizes studies that apply rigorous methodologies enabling global researchers to replicate, validate, and build upon ICT applications in healthcare. Contributions from researchers worldwide are welcomed, especially those demonstrating the clinical significance and practical implementation of informatics solutions.Out of scope :Studies whose primary outcome is technical model performance (e.g., AUC, F1, precision/recall) without prospective clinical deployment, validated patient or provider outcomes, or a documented Clinical Translation Roadmap detailing a specific pathway to real-world application.

Genetics in Medicine
Genetics in Medicine (GIM) is an official journal of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics. The journal's mission is to enhance the knowledge, understanding, and practice of medical genetics and genomics through publications in clinical and laboratory genetics and genomics, including ethical, legal, and social issues as well as public health. As genetics and genomics continue to increase in importance and relevance in medical practice, the journal is an accessible and authoritative resource for the dissemination of medical genetic knowledge to all medical providers through appropriate original research, reviews, commentaries, standards, and guidelines. GIM encourages research that combats racism, includes diverse populations and is written by authors from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds.In addition:GIM does not publish case reportsManuscripts reporting population level research carried out in predominantly or exclusively White populations will generally not be accepted without strong justification for lack of diversity in the population studied.The significance of articles reporting data and/or observations from a limited geographic region is evaluated in the context of whether they are generalizable across relevant populations or whether they might fill a knowledge gap in populations that are underrepresented in genetics research or that experience health disparities.Although cancer genetics is a focus, GIM discourages cancer genetics manuscripts with data limited to somatic and/or tumor genetics. Manuscripts with novel findings on non-germline genetics (for example, somatic [tumor] variation, CHIP [clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential], somatic and constitutional mosaicism) that inform our understanding of germline risk may also be considered. Manuscripts reporting on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or "liquid biopsy" are also generally not within the scope of GIM.Manuscripts should not contain previously published material without appropriate permission.GWAS studies are generally low priority for GIM.- ISSN: 1098-3600
Clinical Colorectal Cancer
Clinical Colorectal Cancer is devoted to manuscripts that focus on early detection/screening, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of colorectal cancer and other GI cancers, including pancreatic, liver, gastric/gastroesopha... biliary, and other gastrointestinal cancers. The major emphasis is on recent scientific developments and original peer-reviewed manuscripts. Specific areas of interest include original reports on clinical research and/or translational research and translational correlative science that is directly related to clinical trials, in all (multidisciplinary) therapeutic fields that relate to colorectal cancer and other GI cancers.Further areas of interest include original research on drug sensitivity and resistance to cytotoxic agents, targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and other novel therapeutic approaches; pathology, (validated) predictive markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; and integration of various therapeutic and multidisciplinary approaches. A much lower priority will be given to meta-analyses, pooled analyses, and real-world analyses unless the knowledge gained from such reports is significant and can be applied to clinical practice. In addition, unsolicited reviews are not encouraged unless there has been a discussion with the editor or deputy editors as the journal wants to ensure that reviews will provide real added value and true gain of knowledge.- ISSN: 1533-0028

Journal of Hand Therapy
The Journal of Hand Therapy is designed to support and advance evidence-based hand therapy, which is a speciality of rehabilitation that focuses on the upper limb. Hand therapists can come from either parent discipline physical therapy or occupational therapy and become hand therapists after advanced training and in some countries this speciality requires certification. As a hand therapy journal, we publish scientific papers, clinical papers, brief reports, and editorials that inform hand therapy. We require that the implications to hand therapy practice are clearly stated, and prefer the interventions be provided by hand therapists. Whether hand therapists, physical therapists or occupational therapists provided “hand therapy” interventions should be stated in methods, and the nature of the intervention should be clearly described (to support reader implementation). However, the discussion should focus on hand therapy, not just the parent discipline or the medical implications, to fit within the scope of the journal. Early work that is more basic or innovation development will be considered, if the implications for future hand therapy practice are clear. Papers that do not inform hand therapy should be submitted to another more relevant journal.- ISSN: 0894-1130
