Peer Review Process
Abstracts are reviewed by at least 2 reviewers in the context of the Medicine 2.0 congress (http://www.medicine20congress.org). Accepted presentations are invited to submit a full paper to JMIR or Medicine 2.0. The full paper will then be reviewed typically by 2-4 external referees.
Publication Frequency
Medicine 2.0 publishes articles "continuously," i.e. articles are published online as soon as they are available (peer-reviewed and copy-edited). The Journal collates them into archival "issues" (about 2 issues per year) and "volumes" (one per year).

Fees
We currently charge no submission fee, but submission is only open to author and works presented at the Medicine 2.0 congress (http://www.medicine20congress.org).
There is no Article Processing Fee for papers submitted in 2013. If authors opt to have their manuscript copyedited by a professional copyeditor (this is the default and highly recommended!), a charge of $450 will be billed (up to 20 manuscript pages).
About the publisher
JMIR Publications, Inc. is a small innovative publisher, co-founded by Prof. Gunther Eysenbach, an internationally known health scientist and academic in the field of knowledge translation and health informatics. It builds on the success of JMIR (Journal of Medical Internet Research), which started in 1998 as a small independent open access project hosted at a university, which subsequently grew into the most influential journal in medical informatics (ranked #1 by Impact Factor by Thomson Reuters for three years, 2011 IF: 4.4) and health services research (ranked #2 by Thomson Reuters for three years). Due to the growth in influence and submissions, and to make the operations more sustainable and professional, the journal was incorporated as company in 2011. Shortly after incorporation, several spin-off journals were launched. Currently, JMIR Publications Inc. publishes the following journals:
- JMIR (Journal of Medical Internet Research) (ISSN 1438-8871) http://www.jmir.org
- JMIR Research Protocols (ISSN 1929-0748) http://www.researchprotocols.org/
- i-JMR (interactive Journal of Medical Research) (ISSN 1929-073X) http://www.i-jmr.org)
- Medicine 2.0 (ISSN 1923-2195) http://www.medicine20.com/
JMIR Publications Inc. also produces and organizes the annual Medicine 2.0(R) World Congress series (http://www.medicine20congress.com), is curator of the Medicine 2.0(R) Social Network (http://medicine20.net), and owns several other trademarks in the health field [e.g. Healthbook(R), http://healthbook.com] and altmetrics area [Twimpact Factor(TM), WebCite(R), http://www.webcitation.org].
