Guidelines for Publication of Supplements
THE AMERICAN JOURNAL of MEDICINE ® GUIDELINES FOR PUBLICATION OF SUPPLEMENTS SUPPLEMENTS to THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF MEDICINE are designed to serve an educational purpose for the subscribers and readers of the JOURNAL and other healthcare professionals. The goal of the supplements is to provide fair, balanced information of high scientific quality. Supplements to the JOURNAL are produced through the financial support of medical education companies, pharmaceutical companies, device and equipment companies, and their designates. The following are general guidelines for publication of supplements. 1. Organizations conducting symposia and considering publication of the proceedings as a supplement to The American Journal of Medicine should consult with the editorial staff of the Journal to make certain the educational objectives and value of the symposium are optimized during the planning process. All supplements will be prospectively reviewed by the Journal. 2. Supplements must have educational value and be useful to the Journal readership to be considered for publication. 3. Supplements should primarily emphasize broad topics (disease/disorders; e.g., hepatitis or congestive heart failure) rather than specific drugs. Supplements devoted to specific drugs or classes of drugs will be considered for publication when there are compelling reasons or unique properties of the drug that justify publication. The topic must be treated in an impartial, unbiased manner.
4. The authors are solely responsible for the content of their manuscripts and the opinions expressed. They are also responsible for the replicability, precision, and integrity of the data and may be asked to sign a statement to that effect prior to publication. 5. All manuscripts will undergo peer review, which will include review by the Supplements Editor and any reviewers identified by the Supplements Editor and an editorial staff or panel of reviewers designated by the Supplements Editor to consider the scientific validity and reliability of new (not previously published) data (rationale/background; purpose; patients; location; experimental design; intervention(s); results; conclusions; etc.). 6. Manuscripts requiring revision will be returned to the authors in a timely fashion. 7. The review process will be expedited to facilitate timely publication of the proceedings; however, withdrawal of seriously flawed or unacceptable manuscripts may be necessary. 8. Timely publication of supplements depends not only upon the efficiency of the review process by the Supplements Editor but also upon the prompt submission of manuscripts by authors. To expedite this process, it is desirable that all manuscripts be completed and turned in when the symposia are held.
For information on publishing a supplement please contact: Gene Conselya at [email protected] or Craig Smith at [email protected] Publisher’s Note: The opinions expressed in this presentation are those of the panelists and are not attributable to the sponsor or the publisher, editor, or editorial board of The American Journal of Medicine. Clinical judgment must guide each physician in weighing the benefits of treatment against the risk of toxicity. Dosages, indications, and methods of use for products referred to in the articles are not necessarily the same as indicated in the package insert for the product and may reflect the clinical experience of the authors or may be derived from the professional literature or other clinical sources. Because of differences between in vitro and in vivo systems and between laboratory animal models and clinical data in humans, in vitro and animal data may not correlate with clinical results. Consult complete prescribing information before administering.
