Scientific journals largely have moved to primary publication online. Clinicians and researchers first learn of, and then read articles on the Internet—and print them locally when required. Thus, as all publishers, whether commercial or non-profit, have attempted to address online communities, they have had to reconsider their business models and track new opportunities. The end of the current five-year Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association ( JAMIA) publisher's contract in 2009 afforded the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) the opportunity to reconsider seriously its plans for the future of the journal.\u0000\u0000Thus, in May 2008, following an invited presentation by the Editor-in-Chief regarding the current status, perceived opportunities, and important decisions to be made for JAMIA , the AMIA Board of Directors began work on the renewal of the publishing contract for its flagship journal. The AMIA Board charged a task force comprising representatives from the Board of Directors, the AMIA Publications Committee, AMIA Staff, the JAMIA Editor, and a seasoned scholarly publishing consultant to assess future publishing options and to then issue a request for proposals. The task force convened frequently (electronically) during the first few months of its work, to examine the overarching principles of the process, to study the current publishing model, and to explore alternative approaches to publishing the association's scholarly journal.\u0000\u0000As their first order of business, the task force conducted a survey of all AMIA members to solicit comments on a variety of possible approaches. The survey asked members to indicate their personal preferences for five different publishing models, which included combinations of various options of print, online, and open-access versions of JAMIA . The survey results indicated that AMIA members' most favored (70%) …","PeriodicalId":344533,"journal":{"name":"J. Am.

I would like to use this column to give you an overview of the strategies that are setting the directions for AMIA.\u0000\u0000Before starting the core of this document, I have a couple of notes. First, I would like to acknowledge the terrific work of my predecessor, outgoing AMIA Board Chair Nancy Lorenzi. During her term, Nancy made AMIA a much more effective and efficient organization. Nancy led a refinement of AMIA's strategic plan,1 which put the organization on a firm forward-looking path. She addressed long standing needs at AMIA, including a revision of the bylaws and the committee structure, as well as the development of a Conflict of Interest policy. She also chartered and brought to completion several key task forces including ones that examined AMIA's (1) approach to conferences, (2) international strategy, (3) proceedings archive approach, and (4) publications endorsement policy. As Chair-elect for the past year, it has been my pleasure to work closely with, and learn from, Nancy. I thank her on behalf of the entire membership for her strong and steady work over the past 2 years.\u0000\u0000Second, I would like to acknowledge Ted Shortliffe for his superb service as AMIA President and CEO. In early November (immediately prior to this writing) Ted announced his decision to resign from AMIA at some point in 2012. Ted took over the leadership …","PeriodicalId":344533,"journal":{"name":"J.
