Contact the journal
Start a conversation before the paperwork.
Use this form for a question about fit, access, permissions, contributor support, or the journal’s policies. A short, well-framed enquiry is enough to begin.
Article fit
Ask which article class may suit a registry, practice observation, method, record set, or service-design question.
Contributor support
Ask about the professional-assistance pathway, access needs, or the difference between editorial review and preparatory support.
Permissions and records
Ask before you share materials that raise questions about identifiable information, consent, images, ownership, or data handling.
Editorial enquiry
Tell us what you are working with.
Do not include private health records, detailed personal information, or full unpublished materials in an initial enquiry. The editorial team will tell you what to send next and how to use the contributor workflow.
