JAMA Manuscript Workflow (jama-workflow)
Overview
This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you which jama- skill to use for the stage you are at* when preparing an Original Investigation (or systematic review / meta-analysis) for JAMA.
Default assumption: unless the user says the target is a different journal, treat the manuscript as aimed at JAMA — a big-four general medical journal (alongside NEJM, The Lancet, The BMJ) that demands general medical importance, a clean EQUATOR-aligned reporting standard (CONSORT / STROBE / PRISMA / STARD), prospective trial registration, and dedicated statistical review.
When to trigger
- "What should I do next?" on a clinical manuscript
- A draft is handed over and the current bottleneck is unclear
- You are bouncing between design, stats, writing, and reviewer replies
- You received JAMA decision letter / reviewer comments and must switch to revision mode
Routing table
| Current symptom | Next skill |
|---|---|
| Unsure the topic clears JAMA's general-medical-importance bar | jama-scope-fit |
| Design questions: RCT vs cohort vs diagnostic vs review; ITT, bias | jama-study-design |
| Need the right EQUATOR checklist + flow diagram (CONSORT/PRISMA…) | jama-reporting-standards |
| p-values only, no effect sizes/CIs; multiplicity not handled | jama-statistics |
| Figures/tables cluttered, no CONSORT/PRISMA diagram, units wrong | jama-figures-tables |
| Abstract not in JAMA structure; no Key Points box | jama-structured-abstract |
| Trial not registered / registered late; missing IRB, consent, COI | jama-ethics-registration |
| Prose verbose, jargon-heavy, "spin" in conclusions | jama-writing-style |
| Need a cover letter pitching importance to the editor | jama-cover-letter |
| Ready to submit; need the pre-submission preflight | jama-submission |
| Received reviewer comments / a revise decision | jama-peer-review-revision |
Default order
jama-scope-fit— decide whether JAMA is the right home before investing morejama-study-design— lock the design and its internal-validity safeguardsjama-reporting-standards— choose and complete the EQUATOR checklist + diagramjama-statistics— pre-specified outcomes, effect sizes + 95% CIs, multiplicityjama-figures-tables— finalize the flow diagram, baseline table, main exhibitsjama-structured-abstract— JAMA structured abstract + Key Points boxjama-ethics-registration— registration, IRB/consent, ICMJE disclosures, data sharingjama-writing-style— tighten prose, remove spin, match house style (polish)jama-cover-letter— editor-facing pitch of general medical importancejama-submission— final preflight against author instructionsjama-peer-review-revision— response after the decision letter
jama-structured-abstractandjama-writing-styleare late-stage polish — do not perfect prose while the design or primary outcome is still unsettled.
Decision shortcuts
- "I have a finding but it's narrow / subspecialty-only" →
jama-scope-fit - "Reviewers will ask if this is ITT or per-protocol" →
jama-study-design - "I don't know whether I need CONSORT or STROBE" →
jama-reporting-standards - "My results are all p < 0.05 with no CIs" →
jama-statistics - "My RCT has no participant flow diagram" →
jama-figures-tables - "My abstract is one block paragraph" →
jama-structured-abstract - "I registered the trial after enrollment started" →
jama-ethics-registration - "My conclusion overstates a secondary outcome" →
jama-writing-style - "I need to convince the editor this matters to clinicians" →
jama-cover-letter - "Submitting tomorrow" →
jama-submission - "I got three reviews and a major-revision letter" →
jama-peer-review-revision
Differences vs. specialty-journal skills
If the work is mechanistic, bench, or narrowly subspecialty (e.g., molecular oncology), a specialty journal stack fits better than JAMA. Core contrast:
- JAMA: broad clinician readership; demands general medical importance and pragmatic clinical relevance.
- Specialty / basic-science journals: tolerate narrow scope and mechanistic depth that JAMA would consider off-fit.
Worked routing example (illustrative)
A team hands over a near-complete multicenter randomized clinical trial (illustrative: N = 4,200, 90-day mortality, absolute risk difference -3.3 percentage points [95% CI, -5.9 to -0.7]) bound for the Journal of the American Medical Association, but the abstract is one block paragraph, the registration date is unverified, and the Results report only p-values. Route in dependency order, not symptom order: jama-ethics-registration first (registration timing is a hard gate), then jama-statistics (effect sizes with CIs, ITT), then jama-figures-tables (CONSORT diagram reconciles all 4,200), then jama-structured-abstract, with style and submission last. The job is to stop teams from polishing prose while a registration defect sits unaddressed.
Router output format
【Stage detected】scope / design / stats / exhibits / abstract / ethics / submit / revision
【Hard gate unresolved?】registration timing / primary outcome / none
【Recommended next skill】jama-...
【Why this order】what must precede polish
【Sibling-venue check】NEJM / Lancet / specialty re-route? yes-with-reason / no
Anti-patterns
- Do not skip
jama-scope-fitand polish a manuscript that a JAMA editor will desk-reject for narrow importance. - Do not let
jama-figures-tablesbeautify exhibits before the reporting standard and primary outcome are settled. - Do not let
jama-peer-review-revisiondraft a response letter before the manuscript itself is actually revised. - Do not defer
jama-ethics-registration— a retrospectively registered trial cannot be fixed at submission.
