About the journal
Journal of Internal Medicine dates its origin back to 1863. Under the name of Acta Medica Scandinavica, founded in 1919, it has published a number of Scandinavian landmark papers throughout the years. In 1989 the Journal was opened to international contributions and accordingly changed the name to JIM. During the last few years JIM has continued its modernisation with a new cover and colour illustrations. An online manuscript-handling system will soon be introduced that will facilitate submission of papers, speed up the peer-review process and further reduce the time of publication.
JIMs impact factor has been continuously rising, and is now (2001) 2.898. The Journal is ranked No. 11 among the 112 journals grouped in the ISI "Medicine, General and Internal" list, and on the European Journal Quality Factor list it is No. 3 after The Lancet and British Medical Journal.
JIM aims are to serve clinical and pre-clinical researchers, as well as clinicians and students with original articles concerning the broad panorama of diseases within internal medicine. This goal is achieved by promoting science within internal medicine as a concept of understanding diseases in their broad, interdisciplinary contexts, from genes and molecules to the patients in their particular environment.
JIM encourages the publication of review articles by internationally leading scientists covering the forefront of medical science. We also support the publication of review articles from international symposia which fall within the scope of the journal.
We believe that the new JIM will serve as an attractive forum and exciting reading, for clinical as well as basic scientists, within the broad and multidisciplinary field of internal medicine.
Features:
- Covers the broad panorama of diseases within Internal Medicine - from genes and molecules to patient
- Increasing Impact Factor - 2.898 in 2001

ARRANGEMENT OF THE MANUSCRIPT
All pages (including references, tables and their captions, figure captions and [where possible] figures) should be saved in a single electronic file.
The manuscript should include the following: (i) title page, (ii) abstract, (iii) main text (introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion), (iv) references, (v) figure legends, (vi) tables, (vii) figures.
Title page
The first page should contain: title of paper, suggested running headline of not more than 30 characters (including both letters and spaces) and author's name, department, institution, city and country.
Abstract
For all 'Original Articles' but not for 'Case Reports' and 'Reviews' (which should have a short, conventional abstract of approximately 100 words) a structured abstract of approximately 250 words should be given. The subtitles shown below should be used, whenever applicable:
Objectives
Give a clear statement of the main aim of the study and the main hypothesis tested, if any.
Design
Describe the design of the study and mention, as appropriate, randomization, blinding, placebo-control, case-control, cross-over, criterion standards for diagnostic tests, and so on.
Setting
Describe the setting of the study, including the level of clinical care (primary care, etc.) and the number of participating centres.
Subjects
State the entry requirements, selection procedures and the number of subjects approached, entering and completing the study.
Interventions
Describe the main features of any interventions, including the method and duration of their use.
Main outcome measures. State the primary outcome measures as planned before the data were collected. If the paper does not emphasize the planned main outcome measures, this should be stated and explained.
Results
Give the main results of the study.
Conclusions
State the primary conclusions of the study and their clinical implications. Suggest areas for further research, if appropriate.
Keywords
We encourage the authors to list at least two, but no more than six keywords below the abstract. Preferably use the keywords listed at http://jim.manuscriptcentral.com/, or use terms from the 'Medical Subject Headings' list from Index Medicus.
Ethical considerations
For studies involving ethical problems approval by the local ethical authority should be indicated in the 'Material and methods' section.
Conflict of Interest Statement
A statement of financial or other relationship that might lead to a conflict of interest should be declared. It should also be stated if you have nothing to declare.
Acknowledgements
Financial support, technical and other assistance of importance for the study may be acknowledged.
References
We recommend the use of a tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference management and formatting. EndNote reference styles can be searched for here: http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp. Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here: http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp.
Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in text, tables and captions by Arabic numerals in [square] brackets. Use the references form adopted by the US National Library of Medicine. Titles of journals should be abbreviated according to the style used in Index Medicus. In the list, reference can be made only to published or accepted articles, not to unpublished or submitted work - these should, if necessary, be referred to in full within parentheses in the text.
List all authors when seven or less; when more, give three followed by et al.
Examples of correct forms of references are given below.
1 Standard journal article
Carlson LA, Hamsten A, Asplund A. Pronounced lowering of serum levels of lipoprotein Lp(a) in hyperlipidaemic subjects treated with nicotinic acid. J Intern Med 1989; 226: 271-6.
2 Chapter in book
Weinstein L, Swartz MN. Pathogenic properties of invading microorganisms. In: Sodeman WA Jr, Sodeman WA, eds, Pathologic Physiology: Mechanisms of Disease. Philadelphia: W. B. Saunders. 1974; 457-72.
Correspondence address
The last page of the reference list should carry the name and address of the author to whom correspondence, including requests for offprints, should be sent. Telephone and fax numbers (as well as an e-mail address if available) should also be given. (The responsible author is advised to have an alternative proof reader amongst the coauthors; give the name and address of this 'second' author here.)
Tables and figures
Figure captions should follow the correspondence address and must be comprehensive so that they are understandable without reference to the text. All figures should be cited in the text. Authors are encouraged to submit figures in colour where appropriate. Further information on preparing high-resolution digital files can be found at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/illustration.asp. In case of use of a previously published table, figure or illustration, written permission from the publisher should be submitted with the manuscript.
In the full-text online edition of the journal, figure legends may be truncated in abbreviated links to the full screen version. Therefore the first 100 characters of any legend should inform the reader of key aspects of the figure.
Tables should follow the figure legends. Only horizontal lines should be used.
