Rapid technological change has affected many aspects of our society, but perhaps none more profoundly than the world of publishing. 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. Thus, 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. As 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%) …
快速的技术变革影响了我们社会的许多方面,但也许没有一个比出版业影响更深远。科学期刊基本上已经转向主要在线出版。临床医生和研究人员首先了解这些信息,然后在互联网上阅读这些文章,并在需要时在当地打印出来。因此,所有的出版商,无论是商业的还是非盈利的,都试图解决在线社区的问题,他们不得不重新考虑他们的商业模式,并寻找新的机会。2009年,美国医学信息学协会(JAMIA)与《美国医学信息学协会杂志》(Journal of The American Medical Informatics Association,简称JAMIA)为期5年的出版合同到期,这给了美国医学信息学协会(AMIA)一个机会,认真地重新考虑该杂志未来的计划。因此,在2008年5月,在主编应邀介绍了JAMIA的现状、预期的机会和将要做出的重要决定之后,AMIA董事会开始着手续签其旗舰期刊的出版合同。AMIA董事会责成一个由董事会代表、AMIA出版委员会、AMIA工作人员、JAMIA编辑和一位经验丰富的学术出版顾问组成的工作组,评估未来的出版选择,然后发出征求建议的请求。在工作的头几个月里,工作组经常召开会议(以电子方式),以检查该过程的总体原则,研究当前的出版模式,并探索出版协会学术期刊的替代方法。作为他们的第一项工作,工作组对所有AMIA成员进行了一次调查,征求对各种可能方法的意见。该调查要求会员表明他们对五种不同出版模式的个人偏好,其中包括印刷、在线和开放获取版本的各种选择的组合。调查结果显示,AMIA会员最赞成(70%)……

We are grateful to Professor Cohen for his letter and clarification of the support vector machine algorithm (SVM) results (in press). We agree that the results he supplies fill a gap in our paper. We could not have performed this comparison in our paper, as the first version was written prior to the publication of his own article,1 which in any case, as Dr Cohen points out, did not include the SVM results in terms of within-groups sum of squares (WSS). We would like, however, to …

I am honored to assume the role of Board Chair for AMIA for a 2-year term starting January 1, 2012. I would like to use this column to give you an overview of the strategies that are setting the directions for AMIA. Before 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. Second, 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 …
