The Health Information Management Journal (HIMJ) is the official peer-reviewed research journal of the Health Information Management Association of Australia (HIMAA). As an international journal, HIMJ provides a platform for dissemination of original research and opinions concerning the management of health information. Papers published in HIMJ are valuable to researchers, policy makers and governments, healthcare practitioners, educators, consumers and others interested in enhancing health information systems, health care systems and delivery, and patient outcomes. We encourage contributions from national and international researchers to advance the knowledge-base in this dynamic field. HIMJ published three Issues per year with an Online First service that facilitates speedy publication.

HIMJ welcomes research articles, commentaries, professional practice papers and reviews related to the management and communication of health data and information. These topics include: health information management; electronic health records and personal health records; privacy and confidentiality; health classifications, terminologies and clinical coding; data quality; data linkage; consumer health records/informatics; public and population health information management; health information policy and governance; health information systems; and health information management education.

HIMJ statement for use of AI in HIMJ submissions

For the information of authors, the Editorial Board has created a position statement to advise on the use of Artificial Intelligence in research publications.

‘HIMJ aligns with the position statement of the Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE) regarding the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and other artificial intelligence (AI) tools (e.g. ChatGPT, GIX.AI, Chatsonic, Google Bard, Microsoft Bing, Auto-GPT, or similar) in research publications, in particular that AI tools cannot be listed as an author of a paper. “AI tools cannot meet the requirements for authorship as they cannot take responsibility for the submitted work. As non-legal entities, they cannot assert the presence or absence of conflicts of interest nor manage copyright and license agreements.” Authors who use AI tools in the writing of a manuscript, production of images or graphical elements of the paper, or in the collection and analysis of data, must be transparent in disclosing in the Methods section of the paper which AI tool was used and how it was used. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even those parts produced by an AI tool and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics.

Specifically, HIMJ aligns with SAGE policy on the use of LLMs in submissions, which can be found on the SAGE ‘Publishing Policies’ pages: ChatGPT and Generative AI. SAGE policy alignments include the recommendations of the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) which state clearly the responsibility of authors for material provided by a chatbot in their manuscripts (including its accuracy) and for appropriate attribution of all sources, including original sources for content generate by a chatbot. HIMJ reviewers are also advised, on the basis of WAME Recommendation No.4, that providing content from an author’s manuscript to a chatbot breaches confidentiality of the submitted manuscript.
