About the Journal
The Journal for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (JAIM) is a nonprofit, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the rigorous evaluation and translation of artificial intelligence technologies in healthcare. Submissions are open through our secure submission portal. Operated under a nonprofit model to advance open scientific collaboration, we serve as a bridge between the engineering and medical communities, ensuring that AI innovations are clinically relevant, ethically sound, and technically robust.
Our Mission
To accelerate the safe and effective implementation of AI in medicine by demanding high standards of evidence and reproducibility.
Scope
We cover diagnostic AI, predictive analytics, natural language processing, robotic surgery, and the ethical/regulatory implications of medical AI.
Publication Model & Schedule
JAIM publishes two formal issues annually, in June and December, beginning in 2027, and accepts manuscripts year-round. Volume 1, Issue 1 (Inaugural Issue) is targeted for publication on June 30, 2027 (priority submission deadline: March 15, 2027), followed by Volume 1, Issue 2 (Year-End Issue) on December 15, 2027 (priority submission deadline: September 15, 2027). See our Editorial Calendar & Publication Schedule for complete timeline details.
JAIM is a hybrid journal. We offer authors the flexibility to choose between Standard Publication ($0 submission fee, content available to subscribers) and Open Access (authors pay an article processing charge to make their work immediately freely available). We believe this model ensures sustainability while providing options for broad dissemination.
Governance & Affiliation

Indexing & Archiving
With our inaugural research issue scheduled for June 2027 on a semiannual publication schedule, JAIM is structured to meet international bibliographic and archiving standards and will apply for indexing in major biomedical and scientific databases as publication volume milestones are met. All published articles are assigned a DOI and preserved in the permanent journal archive.
