# Cover Letter (jama-cover-letter)
## When to trigger
- The manuscript is ready and you need the editor-facing cover letter
- You must state why this work matters to JAMA's broad readership
- You need to confirm originality, registration, and disclosure status up front
- The submission portal asks for a letter to the editor-in-chief
## What the cover letter must do
The editors triage on **general medical importance** first. The letter is a short, specific pitch — not a summary of the abstract. One page.
1. **Address it** to the JAMA editors (verify the current editor-in-chief / addressing convention on the journal site rather than naming a specific person from memory).
