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).
Open Access Policy
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge and accelerates research.
Copyright is retained by the authors and articles can be freely used and distributed by others.
