About the journal
The Journal promotes evidence-based informatics as applied to the domain of health and social care. It showcases informatics research and practice within the many and diverse contexts of care; it takes personal information, both its direct and indirect use, as its central focus.
Its scope is ambitious, encompassing both the properties of care information and the life-cycle of associated information systems. Empirical evidence and experiences related to implementation are particularly welcome.
Informatics in Health & Social Care seeks to consolidate and add to the core knowledge within the discipline of Health Informatics. The Journal therefore welcomes scientific papers, case studies, reviews, editorials and summaries of important reports that are relevant to the domain and community. Articles might, for example, show how care data is collected and transformed into useful and usable information, how informatics research is translated into practice, how specific results can be generalised, or perhaps provide case studies that facilitate learning from experience. Summaries of standards and extracts from the so-called grey literature may also be acceptable.
The overriding goal of the Journal is to show how informatics contributes to the better delivery of care through the presentation of high-quality material, irrespective of whether it is oriented towards research or practice.
Informatics For Health & Social Care (previously known as Medical Informatics and the Internet in Medicine) is covered by the following abstracting and indexing services: Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL); ISI Science Citation Index; PubMed/MEDLINE; PsycINFO; and Scopus.
Instructions to Authors
1. Introduction
Informatics for Health and Social Care promotes the application of analysis, inference and reasoning to medical information, including expert systems and the use of artificial intelligence techniques. There is no restriction on the kind of medical information dealt with - it may be hospital management information, patient records, clinical examinations, laboratory results, physiological measurements, medical images of all kinds, primary care information and epidemiology. The journal is also concerned with the gathering and organization of data and knowledge, and with applications to medical education.

3. Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts for consideration should be submitted via the Journal's Manuscript Central site.
Submission of a paper to Informatics for Health and Social Care will be taken to imply that it represents original work not previously published, that it is not being considered elsewhere for publication and that if accepted for publication it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in any language, without the consent of the editors and publisher. In general, Journal will not publish papers which are merely confirmatory of earlier work or that describe relatively minor modifications of existing techniques or methods.
The following article types are published in Informatics for Health and Social Care:
*Research papers
*Review articles
*Technical notes
*Case studies
*Reports
*Evaluations
4. Preparation of Manuscripts
Papers should be written in English and typically by between 5000 and 8000 words in length. Technical notes are designed as a medium for the publication of short communications that do not require the fast-track publication route offered for Letters. Typically such notes are between 1000 and 2000 words. Review articles or essays are generally commissioned by invitation of the Editor.
Text should be supplied in a format compatible with Microsoft Word for Windows (PC). Charts and tables are considered textual and should also be supplied in a format compatible with Word. All figures (illustrations, diagrams, photographs) should be supplied in JPG or TIFF format.
All manuscripts must be typed in 12 pt font and in double space with margins of at least 2.5 cm. Authors should prepare manuscripts according to Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (6th ed.), published by the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual Committee and are also referred to recent copies of the Journal (post 2005) and encouraged to copy exactly the published format of papers therein.
Manuscripts must include:
Title Page. This should contain the article title, a running head not exceeding 50 characters (including spaces), 3� keywords and full contact details of the authors. One corresponding author should be identified, whose email address is provided.
Abstract Structured abstracts of not more than 200 words are required for all manuscripts, and should be submitted following the title and author's name and address and preceding the main text.
Text. This should in general, but not necessarily be divided into sections with the headings: primary objectives, research design, methods and procedures, experimental interventions, main outcome and results, conclusion
Tables and Figures. Tables and figures should be referred to in text as follows: Figure 1, Figure 2; Table I, Table II. The place at which a table or figure is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on the manuscript. Each table and/or figure must have a legend that explains its purpose without reference to the text.
The Journal has a limited number of free colour pages within its annual page allowance. Authors should consult the Editorial Office with respect to colour reproduction at submission stage. Any figure submitted as a colour original may appear in colour within the Journal's online edition. Colour reproduction in excess of the Journal's budget will only be considered on condition that authors contribute to the associated costs.
Any acknowledgements authors wish to make should be included in a separate headed section at the end of the manuscript.
5. References
References should be indicated in the text with Arabic numbers inside square brackets, e.g., [1], [1,2] or [1]. References should then be listed in numerical order at the end of the article. Examples are provided as follows:

6. Plagiarism
Informa has a strict policy against plagiarism. We define plagiarism as the use of extracts from another person's work that are not placed in quotation marks, without the permission of that person, and without acknowledgement to that person (using the appropriate reference style), with the result that your article presents these extracts as original to you.By submitting your work to an Informa journal, you warrant that it is your original work, and that you have secured the necessary written permission from the appropriate copyright owner or authority for the reproduction of any text, illustration, or other material.
If any article submitted to an Informa journal is found to have breached any of these conditions, Informa reserves the right to reject that article and any others submitted by the same authors. Informa may also contact the authors' affiliated institutions to inform them of its findings.
7. Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest
Authors of research articles should disclose at the time of submission any financial arrangements they may have with a company whose product is pertinent to the manuscript or with a company making a competing product. Such information will be held in confidence while the paper is under review and will not influence the editorial decision, but if the article is accepted for publication, a disclosure statement will appear in the Journal. The intent of this policy is not to prevent authors with these relationships from publishing work, but rather to adopt transparency such that readers can make objective judgements on conclusions drawn.
8. Authorship Contributions
Contributions must be substantial in order to warrant authorship. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content. All other contributors should be listed in the acknowledgements.
