Use when targeting JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) or deciding whether a clinical medicine manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# JAMA (jama)

## Journal positioning

JAMA is the flagship journal of the American Medical Association and one of the most widely read peer-reviewed medical journals in the world. It publishes clinically actionable research—particularly randomised trials, systematic reviews, and guideline-informing observational studies—with strict adherence to reporting standards and methodological transparency. The readership is primarily clinicians in practice and clinical researchers; findings must translate directly into patient-care decisions in the US healthcare context and beyond.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the AMA/JAMA site or submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names JAMA as the target venue for a clinical trial, observational study, or systematic review.
- A clinically actionable manuscript needs guidance on JAMA's specific structured-abstract format, reporting-guideline requirements, and editorial culture versus The Lancet or NEJM.
- A general medicine manuscript needs to assess whether its significance and methods meet JAMA's bar.
- The author needs JAMA's desk-reject profile and credible alternatives before submitting.
