JAMIA/JAMIA Open Spotlight Session – Meet the Editors of AMIA Journals
Presentation Time: 01:45 PM - 03:15 PM

JAMIA and JAMIA Open are AMIA-owned journals for biomedical and health informatics. JAMIA is AMIA's premier peer-reviewed journal for innovative biomedical and health informatics research. At its inception in the early 1990’s, JAMIA’ s goals were to: (1) help to define the field of medical informatics and serve as a reference for what constitutes quality work in the field; (2) stimulate thought regarding the problems that make it difficult for people to enter and prosper in the field; (3) reach the medical informatics community to educate the public about the potential of the field for improving the health care environment and the challenges that must be overcome to achieve that potential; and (4) serve as a vehicle for technology transfer from the developers of ideas and techniques to those who need new ways to do their work. In 2024, we established an additional goal - exemplify best practices in publishing to advance health equity and justice through promoting (a) diversity, equity, and inclusion in editorial team and processes; (b) use of inclusive and non-stigmatizing language; and (c) innovative, rigorous, and transparent quantitative and qualitative research methods that address fairness and mitigate epistemic injustice. JAMIA publishes research and applications papers, brief communications, case reports, perspectives, and systematic reviews.
JAMIA Open is AMIA's gold open-access journal for innovations, applications, and research across the full range of biomedical and health informatics. Since its launch in 2017, JAMIA Open has provided an accessible platform for diverse, high-quality studies that advance the science and application of informatics in clinical care, public health, consumer health, and beyond. Emphasizing the open dissemination of research, the journal publishes application notes, database notes, and patient/community perspectives, alongside original research, focusing on the intersection of informatics, health, communication, and technology, and how that intersection can support patient care through research, practice, and education.
The session will provide an overview of JAMIA and JAMIA Open, covering each journal’s scope, submission guidelines as expectations of innovation, rigor, reproducibility, and generalizability. Participants will gain insights into what editors look for in submissions, tips for successful peer review, and ways to effectively communicate research that advances biomedical and health informatics.
