NOTES FOR CONTRIBUTORS
1. Health Informatics Journal is an international peer reviewed journal. Representing the interdisciplinary nature of health informatics, Health Informatics Journal welcomes contributions of original research or original contributions to the existing literature on health informatics. When submitting papers for consideration, please attach a letter confirming that all authors have agreed to the submission, and that the article is not currently being considered for publication by any other paper or electronic journal.
2. Each paper submitted, if considered suitable by the Editor, will be refereed by at least two anonymous referees, and the editor may recommend revision and re-submission.
3. Length of papers. Your manuscript should ideally be between 3000 and 4000 words long. Please also supply an abstract of 100-150 words, and up to five keywords, arranged in alphabetical order.
4. In order to protect the identity of children, families and staff, authors should use pseudonyms and remove any information leading to identification of any of the individuals described in the study.
5. Your paper submission (written in English) needs to be typed using double spacing, with generous left- and right-hand margins (at least 3 cm) but without right justification. It should be prepared using an RTF compatible word processing package such as Word.
6. Your title page should give: one first name as well as the surname and any initials for each author; a maximum of four degrees/qualifications for each author and the current relevant appointment only; authors' accurate postal addresses; daytime telephone, fax and email numbers.
7. Quotations. Lengthy quotations (over 40 words) should be displayed and indented in the text.
8. American or UK spellings may be used. Please indicate italics by underlining and use single quotation marks. Dates should be in the form `9 May 1995'. Delete points from `USA' and other such abbreviations.
9. Tables. You should present tables in your manuscript typed double-spaced on separate sheets and should contain only horizontal rules. Each table needs a short descriptive title above it. Column headings should clearly define the data presented. If necessary, suitably identified footnotes should be included below. Take care to include all the units of measurement. The table needs to be cited in the text.
10. Figures. Line drawings should be presented as camera-ready copy on glossy paper (b/w, unless to be reproduced - by arrangement - in colour) and, if possible, on disk as EPS files (all fonts embedded) or TIFF files, 800dpi - b/w only.
Computer-generated tints (made up of dots) should be avoided as these do not reproduce well - instead, please use solid black and white and cross-hatching only. For scanning, photographs should preferably be submitted as clear, glossy, unmounted b/w prints with a good range of contrast or on disk as TIFF files, 300dpi.
11. Reference list. References should be listed in Vancouver style and numbered in the order in which they appear in the text. In the text, enclose reference numbers in square brackets.
[1] Fowkes F G R, Fulton P M. Critical appraisal of published research: introductory guidelines. BMJ 1991; 302: 1136-40.
References to Internet materials should be treated as other references in the text. In the reference list, they should be dated and sufficiently identified for readers to be able to find the material unambiguously e.g.:
[2] Borrey D, Spencer H OMR vs. Image based marks recognition competing technologies for the same market? http:/www.visionshape.com 1997 January
12. Language and terminology. Jargon or unnecessary technical language should be avoided, as should the use of abbreviations (such as coded names for conditions). Language that might be deemed sexist or racist should be avoided.
13. Abbreviations. As far as possible, please avoid the use of initials, except for terms in common use. Please provide a list, in alphabetical order, of abbreviations used, and spell them out (with the abbreviations in brackets) the first time they are mentioned in the text.
14. The corresponding author will receive page proofs for checking. Authors will be given a set number of accesses to their article on SAGE Journals Online, similar to the set number of paper offprints they currently receive, with the ability to print off a set number of copies of their article, as well as the opportunity to purchase additional paper copies if they wish. We will continue to send complimentary copies of the journal in which their articles appear, in addition to the online access to pdfs.
16. All papers submitted to Health Informatics Journal are subject to peer review by members of a carefully appointed editorial board.
The journal operates a conventional single-blind reviewing policy in which the reviewer’s name is always concealed from the submitting author.
17. Electronic submissions. Authors should email their submission, including all figures and tables and a covering email, to:
