The Journal of Collegiate Emergency Medical Services (JCEMS) addresses the distinct needs of clinicians in collegiate-based emergency medical services (CBEMS), medical directors, and their university partners. The field of campus-based prehospital emergency care is concerningly underrepresented in the scholarly literature and in popular sources. We strive to provide a voice to the collegiate EMS community and to spur a revolution in collegiate EMS research.
Publishing in JCEMS offers outstanding value to researchers and authors in prehospital emergency care.
- JCEMS publishes the only scholarly, peer-reviewed journal and news source dedicated exclusively to collegiate EMS.
- JCEMS publishes a seasonal print journal and provides all content open access at CollegeEMS.com.
- Our Editorial Board comprises distinguished clinicians, researchers, educators, and leaders with extensive records of service in collegiate EMS and emergency medicine.
- All manuscripts classified as Original Research, Case Reports, or Reviews undergo a double-blind peer review process. Double-blind peer review enhances article quality and reduces selection bias.
- Our open access policy ensures that articles are freely available to the public immediately after online publication. Authors and readers can access, share, print, and distribute JCEMS content for free. Unlike most open-access journals, JCEMS does not charge authors to submit or publish articles.
- We maintain a robust social media platform and outreach program to ensure that your article receives widespread recognition.
All topics of relevance to the collegiate EMS community are welcome, including, but not limited to:
- administration, leadership, and management
- agency development
- campus public health and safety
- career and alumni resources
- clinical medicine and patient care
