ABOUT JADIH

Data intelligence with a purpose

JADIH — Journal of Applied Data Intelligence in Health — is an international, interdisciplinary scientific journal focused on the responsible transformation of health data into evidence, knowledge and better health decisions.

JADIH brings together health data science, artificial intelligence, biostatistics, real-world data and evidence, predictive and causal analytics, digital health, clinical informatics and other quantitative approaches applied to meaningful health questions.

The journal places particular emphasis on scientific validity, methodological transparency, reproducibility, responsible innovation and real-world relevance. Technology is not considered an end in itself: its value lies in the quality of the knowledge and health impact it can help generate.

JOURNAL OBJECTIVES

What JADIH is being created to achieve

01 · Turn health data into useful evidencePublish research in which data and analytical methods address meaningful biomedical, clinical, population or healthcare questions.
02 · Prioritise methodological qualityPromote robust design, appropriate validation, transparent reporting, reproducibility and conclusions proportionate to the evidence.
03 · Advance responsible data intelligenceEvaluate innovation in relation to bias, fairness, interpretability, generalisability, safety, privacy and potential health value.
04 · Connect disciplinesCreate a common scientific space for clinicians, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, data scientists, engineers, informaticians and health-economics researchers.
05 · Remove access barriersOperate under a Diamond Open Access model: no APCs for authors and no subscription fees for readers.
06 · Build an international, bilingual communityAccept manuscripts in English and Spanish while developing an international editorial and reviewer network.
07 · Support emerging researchersCombine rigorous standards with constructive peer review, training opportunities and progressive early-career initiatives.
08 · Build long-term discoverabilityDevelop the editorial quality, metadata, preservation and publication record required for future applications to major scientific directories and indexes.

◆ Diamond Open Access

Free to publish. Free to read.

JADIH is being developed as a Diamond Open Access journal. Authors will not pay Article Processing Charges (APCs), and readers will not pay subscription or access fees to read published research.

The objective is to remove financial barriers at both ends of scientific communication while maintaining rigorous editorial and methodological standards.

No APCsNo publication fees charged to authors.
No subscription feesReaders can access published research without payment.
Open scientific knowledgeAccessibility, transparency and responsible reproducibility.
Publication languages

Scientific publishing in English and Spanish

JADIH will accept full manuscripts in both English and Spanish. Spanish-language articles will include essential metadata in English to support international discoverability.

Our approach

Science that moves from data to better health

01

Applied by design

Advanced analytical methods should address a meaningful health or healthcare question.

02

Methodological rigour

Strong methods, transparent reporting, appropriate validation and reproducibility matter more than technological novelty.

03

Responsible innovation

Data-intensive methods are considered in relation to bias, generalisability, interpretability, safety and potential health value.

04

Constructive publishing

Rigorous peer review can be demanding while remaining clear, useful and constructive for authors.

SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY

Supporting the next generation of researchers

JADIH is committed to creating genuine opportunities for early-career researchers while maintaining the same scientific standards for every manuscript.

Our objective is not to lower the threshold for publication, but to foster a rigorous, transparent and constructive editorial environment in which promising researchers can develop their scientific communication and peer-review skills.

Future initiatives
  • Early Career Researcher Programme
  • Peer-review training
  • Early Career Editorial Board
  • JADIH Young Investigator Award
To be progressively developed as the journal grows.
EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE

Independent scientific decision-making

JADIH is published by RC Editorial, Spain, while scientific assessment and publication decisions remain under the independent authority of the journal's editorial structure.

Editorial decisions will be based on scientific relevance, methodological quality, integrity and alignment with the journal's scope. Commercial, institutional or personal interests must not determine the outcome of individual manuscripts.
