Update on JAM A's Policy on Release of Information to the Public

摘要

Manuscripts submitted for evaluation for publication in JAMA are considered confidential and privileged communications among authors, editors, and peer reviewers. JAMA editorial staff will not release information about the submitted paper to anyone outside the editorial review process without permission of the author. An exception may occur when concerns arise about scientific misconduct or ethical violations that require involvement of oversight authorities, such as institutional officers or research or funding agency representatives as part of the investigative process.
