About the Journal of Medical Informatics and Decision Making

An open access, peer-reviewed platform advancing computational methods, algorithms, and data science innovations in health information systems, bioinformatics, and medical data analytics.

Accelerating Innovation Through Computational Health Science

The Journal of Medical Informatics and Decision Making (JMID) (ISSN 2641-5526) publishes rigorous research at the intersection of computer science, data analytics, and healthcare information systems. Our mission is to disseminate algorithmic innovations, computational models, software tools, and machine learning techniques that transform how health data is captured, processed, analyzed, and utilized.

JMID serves as a critical bridge between bioinformatics researchers, data scientists, software engineers, and health informaticians working to solve complex computational challenges in genomics, medical imaging analysis, electronic health record systems, and health data standards.

We prioritize methodological rigor, reproducible algorithms, and open data practices while maintaining rapid peer review and transparent publication workflows.

Core Research Domains

JMID welcomes original research contributions that advance computational approaches and algorithmic solutions across medical informatics and bioinformatics. Our scope emphasizes technical innovation, algorithmic development, and data-driven methodologies rather than clinical outcomes or patient care protocols.

Bioinformatics Algorithms

Sequence analysis, structural prediction, molecular docking, phylogenetic algorithms, genome assembly, variant calling, and comparative genomics.

Machine Learning & AI

Supervised and unsupervised learning, deep learning architectures, neural networks, feature engineering, model validation, and algorithm benchmarking for health data.

Health Data Mining

Pattern recognition, clustering algorithms, association rule mining, predictive modeling, anomaly detection, and temporal data analysis in health datasets.

Medical Image Processing

Image segmentation algorithms, feature extraction, computer vision techniques, 3D reconstruction, registration methods, and imaging informatics workflows.

Database & Ontology Design

Health information database architecture, query optimization, semantic web technologies, ontology development, data standardization, and interoperability frameworks.

Software & Tool Development

Open-source tools, API design, pipeline frameworks, workflow management systems, visualization platforms, and reproducible research infrastructure.

Natural Language Processing

Text mining algorithms, entity recognition, information extraction, sentiment analysis, and automated coding systems for medical literature and EHR narratives.

Data Science Methodologies

Statistical computing, dimensionality reduction, ensemble methods, cross-validation strategies, performance metrics, and computational reproducibility frameworks.

Scope Clarity: JMID focuses on computational methods and algorithmic innovation. Manuscripts describing clinical outcomes, treatment protocols, patient care workflows, or healthcare policy without substantial computational methodology development are outside our scope. Authors should emphasize technical contributions, algorithm design, implementation details, and validation approaches.
