Publishing Artificial Intelligence Research Papers: A Tale of Three Journals

With the growth in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM) research and the plethora of informatics journals, there is some confusion where to direct an AIM-related manuscript for peer review and possible publication. As editors for three Elsevier biomedical informatics journals that publish AI-related papers, plus the publisher who oversees all three of these journals, we are aware of such confusion and felt it would be helpful to provide some guidance to prospective authors. Accordingly, we present this joint editorial that is being published in all three of our journals. Although there is some overlap among the types of papers that we publish, we offer here some advice on how best to select a preferred publication venue for your medical AI research papers.
