Author questions

How do I submit a manuscript?  

The Editors welcome unsolicited article proposals. In the first instance, please direct a very brief summary, together with working title and author contact details, for the attention of the Editor of the title concerned (see the journal Aims & Scope page for the contact details). Manuscripts should follow the format set out in our instructions for authors. You can also view examples of previously published articles. 

What is the peer review process?  

All articles submitted for publication are assessed by independent experts. The journal Editor will collate and convey this feedback to the author together with any editorial recommendations for style and presentation.

Migration questions

Why was the move from Informaworld necessary?  

The combination of medicine and pharmaceutical science titles simplifies the customer experience in one new, easy to use, robust platform that will deliver online content and archive material from more than 180 journals.

For users, this will provide a one-stop-shop for their content. This will make the user experience more efficient as readers will be pointed from one article towards other articles of interest within the same site. With the high volume of content in multidisciplinary areas, this will enable the user to cut out several steps in their search process.

Also, the site will be host to extra supplementary material such as webcasts, podcasts and alerts. This will mean that users will need to register with fewer sites to gain access to relevant material.  For administrators, the site enables similar journals, currently hosted on multiple platforms, to be managed on one platform. Usage statistics and account management activity can be performed at this one website.

What advantages does this site have for the customer?  

End users tap into a comprehensive one stop-shop for content, saving valuable search time. Users will be able to search through more than 276,000 articles for relevant content.

Administrators can review online journal subscription information and download COUNTER-compliant usage data. They can set up openURL links and download an SFX-compatible holdings file. Administrators can also enter or modify IP addresses and trusted proxy servers, and additional administrators can be nominated. The site can be personalised (with institution’s logo featuring on the site).

Will links redirect to the new platform?  

Many journals are indexed by MEDLINE, EMBASE, Current Contents and other databases. We are also members of CrossRef, ensuring that readers can access referenced Informa Healthcare content from articles available through other publishers. All links on these databases will continue to direct users to Informaworld until we have completed the customer and subscription load. By staggering this change, we will ensure that customer access is setup correctly before redirecting end users to the new platform.
