Information for potential peer reviewers, editorial board members and guest editors

Editorial board members

JMSR will elect a new editorial board in 2007. Editorial board members will have more responsibilities, such as serving as section editor to guide a manuscript through peer-review.

If you are interested to serve, send a brief email to the editor (email address see above), stating the subject area you are most interested/experienced in. Enclose a full list of publications, a list of funded research as principal investigator, and activities as editorial board member or referee for other journals or research programs. Simultaneous membership of editorial boards of other journals or newsletters closely related to the area of Internet and Medicine must be disclosed.

Peer-reviewers wanted !

We are actively looking for peer-reviewers from all specialties. Peer-reviewers should be experienced researchers who have published Medline-indexed peer-reviewed papers before. If you want to be added to our peer-reviewers database, please log-in (if you have already an account) or register as a user in our web-based manuscript tracking system . Note that all corresponding authors of published JMSR articles are automatically added to our peer-reviewers database and may occasionally be invited to comment on articles related to their subject area.

Guest editors

We are also constantly looking for guest editors who wish to compile a theme issue on a special subtopic (for example: electronic publishing, telemedicine, quality of health information, patient education, decision-support, Internet in psychiatry). This may be particularly interesting for conference organizers putting together a congress on an Internet-related topic.

The task of a guest editor is generally

to solicit manuscripts from colleagues concerning the selected topic,
to select peer-reviewers for incoming manuscripts,
to make decisions (together with the editorial board) on article revisions and acceptance, and
to write an editorial for the theme issue.

Conference organizers may also consider using JMSR to publishing the abstracts and/or full papers of their conference in a supplement

Alternately, the abstracts of the conference may published in a supplement, with selected full papers published later in a theme issue or in regular JMSR issues.

Societies and associations affiliated with JMSR

We are constantly seeking to establish more formal links with societies, associations, or other entities, particularly those who are active in the field of medical informatics, consumer health informatics, or eHealth, by inviting them to become affiliated with the Journal of Medical Sciences Research.

The Journal of Medical Sciences Research can for example enhance the attractiveness of becoming member in your society/association, by offering discounted article processing fees for association members.

If desired, representatives from affiliated societies may become Associate Editors, coordinating submissions from the society, compiling special sections of the journal or taking part in the general editorial and peer-reviewing processes and decisions.

The affiliation of the Journal of Medical Sciences Research with the society may also be made visible by introducing a new subtitle "Official Journal of the Society ... / Association for ....".

If you are interested in discussing any of these arrangements, contact the editor-in-chief with information about your position within the society, information about the mission of the society, number of members, and which affiliation model you would favor. We are also open to new ideas of collaboration and partnerships.

Distribution on CD-ROM
Organizations which plan to produce CD-ROMs with a scholarly topic related to the topic of the journal are invited to include the entire archive of the Journal of Medical Sciences Research on their CD-ROM. No license fees are due if the CD-ROMs are distributed free of charge to scientists. If your organizations plans to produce a CD-ROM and if you are interested to include the Journal of Medical Sciences Research, please contact the editor.
