IOS Press, EFMI, and IMIA have recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) extending their publishing agreement for the open access publication of the proceedings of EFMI and IMIA conferences being held from 2024 through 2028.
In cooperation, the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) and the International Medical informatics Association (IMIA) have agreed with IOS Press to publish the proceedings of the Medical Informatics Europe (MIE), Nursing Informatics (NI), EFMI Special Topic Conference (EFMI STC) and MEDINFO conferences, which cover a range of topics within the field of biomedical health informatics. The proceedings of these conferences will continue to appear in the MEDLINE-indexed Studies in Health Technology and Informatics (HTI) book series.
The signing of the MoU signifies a continuation of EFMI’s and IMIA’s longstanding publishing relationship with IOS Press. For nearly 30 years, the HTI series has published numerous conference proceedings organized by EFMI and IMIA. Its first publication of an EFMI proceedings 'Case-Based Telematic Systems, Towards Equity in Health Care,' edited by F.H. Roger France, et al., was published in 1994, and in 1996 'Medical Informatics Europe '96' by J. Brender, et al., presented a collection of IMIA’s MEDINFO proceedings.
