About the Journal of Hospital Medicine
Vision
The Journal of Hospital Medicine (JHM) is the premier peer-reviewed publication for the specialty of Hospital Medicine and is dedicated to publishing evidence that will transform care of the hospitalized patient.
Mission
JHM advances excellence in Hospital Medicine clinical care and research through the dissemination of peer-reviewed studies, evidence-based clinical care updates and reviews, and rigorous evaluations of approaches to improve the quality, safety, and value of care for hospitalized adults and children.
JHM’s Editorial Priorities
JHM is a peer-reviewed publication of the Society of Hospital Medicine and is published 12 times per year. JHM publishes manuscripts that address the care of hospitalized adults or children.
Broad areas of interest include (1) Treatments for common inpatient conditions; (2) Approaches to improving perioperative care; (3) Improving care for hospitalized patients with geriatric or pediatric vulnerabilities (such as mobility problems, or those with complex longitudinal care); (4) Evaluation of innovative healthcare delivery or educational models; (5) Approaches to improving the quality, safety, and value of healthcare across the acute- and postacute-continuum of care; and (6) Evaluation of policy and payment changes that affect hospital and postacute care.
Papers with the highest likelihood of publication use robust research methods to examine questions of importance to the field of adult or pediatric Hospital Medicine and produce results that will influence clinical practice or healthcare policy.
Open Access Policies for the Journal of Hospital Medicine
Open access content is immediately and permanently available online and allows users to link, read, download, store, use, and data-mine the content of that article, even commercially, without permission—provided that credit is given to the original authors and journal.
All accepted open access articles receive the following open access benefits:
Articles will be published under the CC-BY license
The author will retain the copyright of the article
The article will be freely available in perpetuity on the journal website for any user, worldwide
The article will have the OPEN indicator published on the article in the PDF and online to make it visible to readers that the article is open access
All open access articles are subject to peer review, editorial oversight, and the journal’s production process. The submission and review process for open access articles will follow the same process as for nonopen access articles, but there are additional forms and steps that need to be taken to publish your work as open access.
Authors have up to one year to request that their article be published as open access.
Author Requirements for Open Access
An Article Process Charge (APC) of $4,000 ($2,000 for SHM members) is payable to the publisher to publish open access on this site and to complete licensing and payment forms. If you wish to request Open Access, email rlitchkofski@mdedge.com, and within 2 weeks of the request, the publisher will email you the invoice.

Description of the JHM Review Process
Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been previously published, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that its submission for publication has been approved by all persons listed as authors and by the appropriate authority at the institution where the work was carried out.
Manuscripts undergo initial review by JHM Editors at which time a decision whether to request peer review is made.
Approximately 50% of original research and brief report submissions are sent for formal peer review
Our mean time from submission to rejection without formal peer review is 1.3 days.
If we send a manuscript out for peer review, our average time from submission to first decision is 23 days.
Most manuscripts for which we request a revision are ultimately accepted for publication pending appropriate revision.
We strongly encourage authors to recommend potential peer reviewers as part of the manuscript submission process. Peer reviewer identities are kept confidential, but author identities are made known to reviewers. Authors can check the status of their manuscript by accessing their password-protected manuscript file at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/JHM. Or, please contact the Editorial Office by e-mail at rlitchkofski@mdedge.com.
If a revision is requested, authors will have 45 days in which to submit their revised manuscript. Extensions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Manuscript Format Requirement Details - Initial Submission
The Journal of Hospital Medicine is pleased to offer web-based submissions and peer-review. To submit your manuscript online, go to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jhm.
"No Hassle” New Submissions
The Journal of Hospital Medicine (JHM) has relaxed the submission formatting requirements for the initial submission of original research and brief report manuscript submissions.
For new original research and brief report submissions, submit your manuscript using the format of your choice (you may still elect to make the initial submission using the format outlined by JHM). By giving authors this choice, we want to reduce the time and hassle involved in adhering to strict formatting rules for initial submissions.
If JHM requests a revised submission, we will then provide detailed guidance about the required manuscript formatting.
“No Hassle” New Submission Details
The “No Hassle” New Submission process applies only to original research and brief report manuscripts.
The file may be uploaded as a single PDF or a Word document.
The title page should include:
Article title
Running title (a short version of the title, up to 40 characters)
Author names with academic degrees and affiliations
Manuscript word count
All authors will receive links to complete conflict of interest disclosure forms and copyright transfer agreements once the article is provisionally accepted. The conflict of interest disclosure forms are based on ICMJE standards.
Corresponding author contact information (telephone number, email address, and, if desired, twitter handle)
There are no strict formatting requirements, but all manuscripts must be readable (double-spaced text is preferred) and contain the essential elements of a research manuscript, eg, Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Conclusions, and Tables and Figures (with legends) placed at the end of the manuscript if submitting these as part of a single document.
References can be in any style or format as long as the style is consistent
While the formatting requirements have been relaxed for the convenience of the authors, note that the content of the submission must adhere to Journal standards regarding language, clarity, spelling, grammar, and word counts (3,000 or fewer words for original research manuscripts and 1,500 or fewer words for brief report manuscripts).
There is no need to upload signed copyright forms and disclosure statements at the time of initial submission. These documents are required only when a manuscript revision is submitted.
General Guidance
Prepare your manuscript and illustrations in the appropriate format, according to the instructions given below. Please also be sure that your paper conforms to the scientific and style instructions of the journal.

If you are unsure of your password, enter your e-mail address in the “Password Help” box. If you have an account, a temporary password will be e-mailed to you to gain access to your account. Subsequently, to monitor the progress of your manuscript throughout the review process, log in to ScholarOne Manuscripts periodically and check your Author Center.
