JMIRx Med
PubMed-indexed
overlay journal for preprints with post-review manuscript marketplace (
What is JMIRx?
).
Editor-in-Chief:
Fuqing Wu, PhD, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, School of Public Health, Texas, USA
JMIRx Med (ISSN 2563-6316), which has been
accepted for indexing in PubMed and PubMed Central
, is an innovative overlay journal to
MedRxiv
and
JMIR Preprints
(other preprint servers are invited to join). JMIRx peer-reviews preprints and publishes their revised "version of record" with peer-review reports across a broad range of medical, clinical and related health sciences. Unlike the majority of JMIR journals, papers published in this journal do not require a digital health focus - in fact, most papers we published in the first months of the journal were related to COVID19, but we publish all research that qualifies for preprinting on
MedRxiv
Conceived to address the urgent need to make highly relevant scientific information available as early as possible without losing the quality of the peer-reviewed process, this innovative new journal is the first in a new series of “
superjournals
”. Superjournals (a type of
"overlay" journal
) sit on top of preprint servers (JMIRx-Med serves
MedRxiv
and
JMIR Preprints
), offering peer-review and everything else a traditional scholarly journal does. Our goal is to rapidly peer review and publish a paper. All JMIRx Med papers must have originated as a preprint.
All JMIRx Med papers are rigorously peer-reviewed, copyedited and XML-tagged. Accepted papers are published along with the related Peer Review Reports and Author Responses to Peer Review Reports, providing an additional layer of transparency to the scholarly publishing process.
There is no Article Processing Fee directly paid by authors for this journal. JMIRx Med is envisioned as a diamond open access and Plan-P compliant journal, which enables Plan P member universities/institutions and funders to subsidize peer review of preprints and publishing in JMIRx Med. Individual PI-led labs, departments and universities can become institutional members, guaranteeing unlimited peer-review of preprints.
If you are not affiliated with a Plan P member organization, we encourage you to provide Plan P membership details to your administrator or sign up for a Principal Investigator (PI) level membership. Further details
provided here
For a limited time only, authors who opt-in during submission to receive PREreview or PeerRef community peer review for their preprint or refer us to their department head/librarian/funder contact will receive a membership-waiver and may publish the preprint in JMIRx Med at no cost to the author. Referral form
provided here
To submit a preprint to JMIRx, authors can self-nominate their existing preprints for publication (which is the equivalent to a traditional journal submission), using the minimalistic
JMIRx-Med submission form
that essentially only points to the preprint (the preprint needs to be unpublished and should not be under consideration by a journal).
Preprints that have already been peer-reviewed by third-party
Plan P accredited peer-review services
such as PREreview and PeerRef do not require further peer-review (at the editors' discretion). In the submission process, you can nominate your preprint for a PREreview journal club, which can be used in lieu of traditional peer-review.
For more details on other submission pathways (including for papers not in MedRxiv) and peer-review options see
How to submit to a JMIRx journal

Awareness, Experiences, and Attitudes Toward Preprints Among Medical Academics: Convergent Mixed Methods Study
Preprints—scientific manuscripts shared publicly prior to formal peer review—are gaining momentum across academic disciplines. However, their adoption in clinical and biomedical sciences remains limited, particularly in countries where traditional publishing norms prevail. Editorial ambiguity and a lack of national policy further complicate their use.

Associations Between IT Job Stressors and Anxiety, Depression, and Stress: Cross-Sectional Study
The IT sector is growing and encompasses all professions, from leisure and recreation to hospitals and emergency response groups. IT professionals are experiencing increased threats (eg, ransomware attacks), but little is known about the relationship between these IT profession–specific stressors and the professionals’ mental health.

Investigating the Variable Component of the Systematic Error, a Neglected Error Parameter: Theoretical Reevaluation Study
The existence of the variable component of the systematic error (VCSE) was known from the beginning. Still, it is a kind of taboo: it does not have a definition in the International Vocabulary of Metrology and is not present in equations, as it is considered transformed over time into random error.
