DM covers a broad spectrum including: clinical reports and case studies; practical aspects of developing and implementing disease management initiatives; perspectives and insights from all stakeholders; and interviews with leading experts in disease management.  Manuscripts submitted to DM should meet the following criteria: the material is original, the writing is clear, the study methods are appropriate, the data are valid, the conclusions are reasonable and supported by the data, the information is important, and the topic has general disease management interest. We will assess a paper's eligibility for publication based on these basic criteria.
