The JDMS accepts the following types of submissions: Original Research Articles, Case Studies, Case Series, Cohort Studies, Methodology, Letters to the Editor, Systematic Reviews, and Meta-analyses. All other submission types should be sent to Editor-in-Chief for approval. All submissions must be original contributions, not previously published (except as a conference abstract or proceedings), must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere, and, if accepted, must not be published elsewhere in a similar form, in any language, without the consent of Sage Publications, Inc. Although the editors and referees make every effort to ensure the validity of published manuscripts, the final responsibility rests with the authors, not with the journal, its editors, or the publisher.
