The current edition of JAMIA, today's top-ranked journal in biomedical and health informatics, features new scientific research—in print and online—on some of healthcare's most hotly discussed HIT-related topics, written by prominent experts working in health and biomedicine:
Editor-in-Chief Lucila Ohno-Machado says, "We have broadened the scope of the journal to encompass all areas of biomedical and health informatics and look forward to receiving submissions which represent research, applications, reviews, and perspectives in a variety of topics."
JAMIA is interested in under-represented topics, say the two editors, such as those related to public health, and those meant to inform, educate, and empower people about health issues. "Certainly more research exists about public health informatics beyond what is currently published," Drs. Ohno-Machado and Lehmann agree.
JAMIA is jointly published by AMIA and the BMJ Group. It has the highest impact factor of any journal in its category. Its content appears online at www.jamia.org
AMIA, as the voice of the biomedical and health informatics community, plays an important role in medicine, health care, and science, encouraging the use of data, information and knowledge to improve both human health and delivery of healthcare services. AMIA is an unbiased, authoritative source of information within the professional informatics community and the health care industry, committed to driving health improvements and improving health care delivery.
