About the journal
First published in 1975, the American Journal of Law & Medicine (AJLM) is the country’s leading health law journal. It is published by the Boston University School of Law in conjunction with the American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics. The journal publishes articles written by professors, attorneys and other professionals, as well as student notes and comments.
AJLM's scope is broad, covering topics ranging from health law and policy, to the legal, ethical and economic aspects of medical practice, research and education.
Peer Review: AJLM is now a peer-reviewed journal, with leading experts in health law reviewing every manuscript selected for publication. This process will further enhance the quality of journal articles, while we endeavor to minimize delays in the publication process.
Instructions to Authors
EDITORIAL SCOPE: The editors of the AMERICAN JOURNAL OF LAW & MEDICINE (AJLM) encourage the submission of manuscripts on a wide range of medicolegal topics. Acceptable subjects include health law and policy; legal, ethical, social and economic aspects of medical practice, education and research; health-related insurance; and other issues involving the relationship of the life sciences to the social sciences and humanities. AJLM is interdisciplinary. Submissions from specialists in all healthcare-related disciplines are welcomed.
EDITORIAL ADDRESS: Send all materials to the Editor-in-Chief, AMERICAN JOURNAL OF LAW & MEDICINE, 765 Commonwealth Avenue, Suite 1672, Boston, Massachusetts 02215.
GENERAL SUBMISSION FORMAT: Manuscripts must be typed and single-sided. They must be double-spaced, with liberal margins. Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate, i.e., an original and two photocopies. The title of the paper and the author's name and address should be given only on the cover sheet. Papers should be a minimum of forty pages in length. If a paper is accepted, the author will be expected to provide a disk copy either in MS Word or WordPerfect formatted for IBM/PC.
ABSTRACTS: An abstract (of no more than 200 words), succinctly summarizing the content of the manuscript, should accompany the manuscript on a separate page.
REFERENCES: Footnotes must be numbered consecutively and double-spaced. All footnotes should conform to A Uniform System of Citation (17th ed.), which is published and distributed by the Harvard Law Review Association, Gannett House, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138. Those unfamiliar with this system should follow the citation form accepted in their discipline. When a paper is accepted, the editors will work with the author to convert the footnotes into the proper form.
ILLUSTRATIONS: All illustrations, tables, graphs, and charts must be numbered and given suitable legends. Authors must indicate in the manuscript the appropriate positions of such graphics. Authors will be expected to provide either suitable electronic graphics files or a camera-ready copy.
SELECTION & EDITING TIMETABLE: On receipt of a manuscript, the editors will send a letter of acknowledgment. Authors will be notified of manuscript decisions within one to three months of receipt, depending on the length of the manuscript. Accepted manuscripts are usually published within three months of acceptance.
PROOF PAGES & AUTHOR REPRINTS: Authors will be given one set of proof pages prior to publication. Proof pages will incorporate textual revisions discussed between the editors and the author. Reprint order forms for perfect-bound reprints will accompany the proof pages. All orders must be pre-paid.
RETURN OF MANUSCRIPTS: AJLM retains one copy of all manuscripts submitted for consideration. Copies are not returned unless the author so requests in writing and supplies AJLM with a return self-addressed envelope and adequate postage.
