A potential benefit of the volume and concentration of information to be published by so many journals throughout the world in this global theme issue will be an opening of eyes and a sharing of ideas that we hope will initiate meaningful discussion and new solutions. We invite all investigators to submit their best research addressing issues concerning new technologies in medicine for consideration for this global theme issue. Not only would we like to receive manuscripts describing and evaluating diagnostic and therapeutic uses of new technologies, but we also look forward to reviewing thoughtful analyses and essays dealing with the ethical, economic, social, and health policy ramifications of such technologies. We also accept the broadest definition of new technologies and do not limit the perspective to diagnostic and therapeutic endeavors, and include broad goals of health care that include quality improvement, health promotion and education, and epidemiologic surveillance and disease control, to name a few. Manuscripts not chosen for the theme issue may be considered for other issues of JAMA or may be referred for consideration to one of the American Medical Association Archives Journals.
All manuscripts are subject to our usual rigorous editorial evaluation and peer review.
