Editorial Policy

The New England Journal of Medicine has strict editorial policies governing the quality and originality of its content. These policies were established to protect the interests of our authors, readers and advertisers. Principal to our commitment is a policy known as the Ingelfinger Rule, which allows NEJM to consider a manuscript for publication only if its substance has not been submitted or reported elsewhere. This policy was promulgated in 1969 by the acting editor, Franz J. Ingelfinger and has been maintained by his successors.

NEJM editorial policies ensure advertisers that their message is contained within unique and timely medical research. Additional information and instructions are available in Information for Authors.
