Focus and Scope
JMIR Data publishes datasets in the fields of medicine and health.
Datasets include all types of data for eHealth research, including patient-generated data from wearables (e.g., accelerometers, mobile apps), patient-reported outcomes, unstructured interview transcripts, internet-derived or app-derived datasets or log files. Datasets involving biospecimens, molecular or genomic data, patient or participant data from trials or experiments, and other medical, clinical, or health data are also included. All datasets must comply with applicable data privacy, management, and regulatory requirements. All data files must be appropriately anonymized and deidentified to protect the privacy of participants.
See Instructions for Authors more information on the requirements for JMIR Data submissions. Additional article types, such as Tutorial, Viewpoint, and rigorous literature reviews, which relate all aspects of the life cycle of data, including but not limited only to data ethics and privacy, methods such as deidentification of data, data retrieval, federated data, or synthetic data generation.
A JMIR Data publication can also be paired with a challenge or competition. Authors may propose publishing a dataset in JMIR Data and invite external researchers to address a specific problem or research question, leading to the publishing of dedicated challenge-related documents in JMIR Challenges.
