Author Guidelines

  • To submit a manuscript, create a useraccount at this site (if you are already a JMIR user, use that username/password!), and login at http://www.researchprotocols.org/author. You may have to create a role as "author" first.
  • Submit your existing grant proposal or research protocol - but please shorten it to 20 pages maximum (additional information can go into appendices), and edit it to make it more like a journal article (e.g., remove sections which describe the investigators and research environment)
  • For further instructions see JMIR Instructions for Authors and JMIR Res Protoc Guidelines
  • In Step 4, upload any existing peer-review reports as Multimedia Appendix or supplementary file, if available. In your cover "letter" (note for editor), comment on whether the research is ongoing, has been funded or peer-reviewed in your cover letter. ONLY IF PREVIOUS REVIEWS ARE AVAILABLE YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A ARTICLE PROCESSING FEE DISCOUNT, AND IT WILL SPEED UP THE PUBLICATION PROCESS, AS WE MAY NOT HAVE TO SEND IT OUT FOR EXTERNAL PEER-REVIEW.
