For authors

As I am also a peer-reviewed, scientific journal editor, I take special notice when journals' editorial personnel do an exemplary job. I appreciate the efficient and professional editorial review process. Our communications with you have been a pleasure.

From the bench to the bedside

We work closely with the publishing team at Informa Healthcare to help authors select a journal and prepare their manuscripts for submission. Informa Healthcare offers over 160 journals – 70 with society affiliation – spanning nearly every topic in pharmaceutical development, life sciences, medicine and allied health. Our leading titles include the Current Medical Research & Opinion series, the Expert Opinion series and the Critical Reviews series.

Trusted, ethical and accredited publication standards

Without exception, all manuscripts submitted to Informa Healthcare are reviewed by recognised experts in the field of the study. As a member of ICMJE and COPE, our journals adhere to the highest standards of transparency and publication ethics.

Unsurpassed levels of author service and publication efficiency

So why would 8 out of 10 Informa Healthcare authors commit to publishing with Informa Healthcare again?  Believing strongly in the value of customer service, Informa Healthcare actively encourages direct contact with their editorial and production teams to ensure manuscripts are published as efficiently as possible.

Unsurprisingly, this allows Informa Healthcare to offer more rapid publications in print than any other STM publisher without any compromise to editorial integrity. This also means authors know if and when their manuscript will be published.
