Miscellaneous

What is the contact information or how do I submit an article to a specific journal?

Individuals with specific questions about a specific journal must contact that journal directly. The ICMJE does not maintain a directory of journals. However, some journals have included their internet addresses when requesting posting on the ICMJE’s list of journals that follow the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals.. However, if the internet address is not on the list, the ICMJE will not be able to provide you with this information. We suggest that you search for the journal of interest on the internet or consult the library at your institution.

How do I format a specific citation?

The ICMJE no longer publishes a list of reference formats, but instead recommends that authors follow the ANSI standard style adapted by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) for its databases. For samples of reference citation formats, authors should consult NLM’s Citing Medicine at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/citingmedicine/.
