JMCP Editorial Advisory Board

Mission

To increase the impact and visibility of the Journal of Managed Care and Specialty Pharmacy by advising and supporting the editorial team and publishing staff. 

Responsibilities

JMCP Editorial Advisory Board members will serve in an advisory role to the Chair, Editor-in-Chief, and Managing Editor in the continuous improvement of the content and format of JMCP. This includes providing strategic insight into AMCP and managed care pharmacy-related issues and feedback regarding the quality of the content within JMCP. EAB members serve as ambassadors of JMCP within and outside the managed care community.

  • The EAB Chair works closely with the Editor-in-Chief to set the direction for JMCP and the policies and procedures.
  • The EAB Vice Chair assists the Chair with their responsibilities and will assume the Chair role if the Chair cannot fulfill their duties. 

Composition

The EAB is composed of at least 16 individuals, including a Chair and Vice Chair, and at least fourteen (14) members, two-thirds (2/3) of whom should be AMCP members. The composition of the EAB is determined by the Chair and the Editor-in-Chief and is intended to represent key areas of managed care pharmacy, including academia, pharmacy practice, industry, and managed care organizations. The JMCP Editor-in-Chief and a member of the AMCP staff serve as the co-staff liaisons to the EAB. Nonmembers will be required to complete a Non-Disclosure Agreement and Conflict of Interest form upon selection to the Committee.
