- To foster responsible and balanced debate on controversial issues that affect medicine and health care
- To forecast important issues and trends in medicine and health care
- To inform readers about nonclinical aspects of medicine and public health, including the political, philosophic, ethical, legal, environmental, economic, historical, and cultural

Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission. All manuscripts should be sent to the Editor, JAMA, 515 N State St, Chicago, IL 60610, USA; telephone: (312) 464-2402; fax: (312) 464-5824; e-mail: jamams@jama-archives.org. We encourage authors to submit manuscripts via e-mail. When submitting by e-mail, print mail address and telephone and fax numbers also should be included. Tables, figures, and text should be included in the same file if possible. Manuscripts submitted by e-mail should not also be submitted by mail or fax.
Previous Publication or Duplicate Submission. Manuscripts are considered with the understanding that they have not been published previously in print or electronic format and are not under consideration by another publication or electronic medium. Copies of possibly duplicative materials that have been previously published or are being considered elsewhere must be provided at the time of manuscript submission.1(pp98-102)
Previous Presentation or Release of Information. A complete report following presentation at a meeting or publication of preliminary findings elsewhere (eg, an abstract) can be considered. Media coverage of meeting presentations will not jeopardize consideration, but direct release of information through press releases or news media briefings may preclude consideration by JAMA.2 Rare instances of papers reporting public health emergencies should be discussed with the editor. Authors submitting manuscripts or letters to the editor regarding adverse drug or medical device reactions, reportable diseases, and the like should also report such to the relevant government agency.
JAMA-EXPRESS.JAMA-EXPRESS provides rapid peer review and publication of original research of major clinical or public health importance.3 All such manuscripts must be screened and approved for JAMA-EXPRESS before submission. Authors who wish to have manuscripts considered for JAMA-EXPRESS should send the manuscript file and a request letter to jamaexpress@jama-archives.org or call (312) 464-2402.
JAMA publishes original contributions, reviews, brief reports, special communications, commentaries, and many other categories of articles. Topics of interest include all subjects that relate to the practice of medicine and the betterment of public health worldwide. The most frequently published types of articles are described herein.
Original Contributions. Randomized trials, intervention studies, studies of screening and diagnostic tests, cohort studies, cost-effectiveness analyses, case-control studies, and surveys with high response rates. Registered trials should include the registry and registration number. Each manuscript should clearly state an objective or hypothesis; the design and methods (including the study setting and dates, patients or participants with inclusion and exclusion criteria, or data sources and how these were selected for the study); the essential features of any interventions; the main outcome measures; the main results of the study; a comment section placing the results in context with the published literature; and the conclusions. For more information, see instructions for preparing structured abstracts on page 127. Typical length: 2000-4000 words (not including tables, figures, and references).
Reviews. Systematic, critical assessments of literature and data sources pertaining to clinical topics, emphasizing factors such as cause, diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, or prevention. All articles or data sources should be selected systematically for inclusion and be critically evaluated, and the selection process should be described in the paper. The specific type of study or analysis, population, intervention, exposure, and tests or outcomes should be described for each article or data source. Meta-analyses also will be considered as reviews.1(pp528-529) For more information, see instructions for preparing structured abstracts on page 127. Typical length: 2000-4000 words (not including tables, figures, and references).
Brief Reports. Short reports of original studies or evaluations or unique, first-time reports of clinical case series. Typical length: 750-1200 words (not including tables, figures, and references).
Letters to the Editor. Letters discussing a recent JAMA article should be received within 4 weeks of the article's publication and should not exceed 400 words of text and 5 references. Research Letters reporting original research, including case series or case reports, also are welcome and should not exceed 600 words of text and 6 references, and may include a table or figure. Letters should be double-spaced and a word count should be provided with each letter. We prefer that letters be submitted electronically, to jama-letters@jama-archives.org. Letters can also be faxed to the editorial office at (312) 464-5225 (also mail a hard copy).
Manuscripts should meet the following criteria: material is original; writing is clear; study methods are appropriate; the data are valid; conclusions are reasonable and supported by the data; information is important; and topic has general medical interest. From these basic criteria, we assess a paper's eligibility for publication. We receive approximately 4500 papers each year, but we publish only about 10% of unsolicited manuscripts.
