Pre-Submission Preflight (jama-submission)
When to trigger
- "Submitting tomorrow" — last check before the portal
- Unsure which files and statements JAMA's system requires
- Confirming the manuscript matches the article type's limits
Word counts, reference caps, and exhibit limits change. Verify every number on JAMA's current Instructions for Authors page; the items below are durable requirements, not fixed figures.
Format & limits
- Manuscript matches the chosen article type and its word limit (verify current number)
- Abstract follows the JAMA structured headings and word ceiling (verify)
- Key Points box present where required (Question / Findings / Meaning)
- References within the cap for the article type; AMA reference style
- Figures + tables within the exhibit limit (verify)
- Line numbers and page numbers on the manuscript
- Title page with full author list, affiliations, corresponding author
Required statements (in the manuscript)
- Trial Registration line (trials) with registry + identifier; PROSPERO for reviews
- IRB/ethics approval and Declaration of Helsinki; informed-consent statement
- ICMJE authorship + contributorship statement
- Conflict-of-interest disclosures for all authors
- Funding source and role of the funder/sponsor
- Data-sharing statement
- Access-to-data / statistical-responsibility statement (trials)
Required uploaded files
- Main manuscript (with structured abstract, Key Points, body, references)
- Completed EQUATOR checklist (CONSORT / STROBE / PRISMA / STARD) with item locations
- Required flow diagram (CONSORT/PRISMA/STARD) as a figure
- Trial protocol + statistical analysis plan (trials)
- Cover letter
- ICMJE COI disclosure forms for each author
- Tables and figures per the journal's file specs (resolution, format)
- Supplement / online-only materials if applicable
Disclosure & integrity
- Manuscript is original and not under consideration elsewhere
- Any preprint / prior presentation disclosed
- Plagiarism / text-overlap self-checked
- Reporting standard items all locatable in the text
Portal operation
- Submit through JAMA's editorial-manager-style portal (verify the current URL on the journal site).
- Confirm author order, corresponding author, and ORCID where requested.
- Add suggested / non-preferred reviewers if the portal allows.
- Select the correct article type and category.
Anti-patterns
- Pasting a generic abstract instead of the JAMA structured one
- Missing the EQUATOR checklist or flow-diagram upload
- Trial Registration line omitted, or registration was retrospective
- COI forms not collected for every author
- Reference style left as another journal's format
- Exhibit/word counts exceeding the article-type limit (because numbers were assumed, not verified)
Submission pass for JAMA
Run this as a concrete capability pass. First lock the clinical question, patient population, estimand or endpoint, safety/ethics issue, and reporting checklist; then test whether the manuscript addresses clinical reviewers who ask whether the evidence changes patient care, policy, or medical decision-making while satisfying reporting standards.
- Primary move: Treat current official instructions as volatile; verify portal, file format, anonymity, length, data, ethics, and disclosure requirements before saying ready.
- Decision ledger: return
claim / evidence / blocker / next editrows so the next pass can patch the manuscript directly. - Sibling comparison: compare against NEJM for field-changing clinical medicine, Lancet for global-health breadth, specialty journals for narrower clinical domains; if the neighboring outlet has the stronger audience claim, recommend re-routing before polishing.
- Verification floor: before submission-ready advice, re-open
resources/official-source-map.mdfor volatile rules and name the one unresolved fact that could change the recommendation.
