Quality of Submitted Papers
Researchers new to the field may be guided in writing a 'good' scientific health informatics paper by the "Quality criteria for medical informatics research papers" available here (external link).
Further, the journal editor will immediately return papers without peer-review if they do not pass the following essential 'gate criteria':
- Relevance to the journal's audience
- Originality of the content of the submission (i.e. that the paper adds something detectable to the state of knowledge)
- Clarity: The paper makes it clear just what its contribution to the state of knowledge is and places its contribution in an appropriate context and framework.
- Organisation: The presence of at least the key sections (e.g. no discussion at all about what this approach adds and how it relates to other approaches; none or insufficient references, ...)
- Language: Written in reasonably good English
