How are papers selected for the IMIA Yearbook of Medical Informatics ?

Papers are selected based on a systematic search of all medical informatics publications between January and December of the previous year. For each section within the IMIA Yearbook of Medical Informatics, this search is coordinated by one section editor. Around 150 papers are pre-selected this way each year. Each pre-selected paper is then internationally reviewed by three reviewers. Based on those reviews, the editors and the respective section editors decide on inclusion of papers in the Yearbook. This final selection is usually done around April and the Yearbook appears in July.
