Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine: Instructions for authors
(revised January 2026)
We kindly request that you adhere to our detailed 'Instructions for authors' when submitting your articles. Following these guidelines is crucial to ensure a smooth review process and to prevent any delays that may result in your submission being suspended. Your cooperation not only helps us maintain an efficient workflow but also enhances the overall quality of our publication. Thank you for your attention to these important details.
Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine (DHM) is the joint journal of the South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society (SPUMS) and the European Underwater and Baromedical Society (EUBS). The journal publishes high-quality papers on all aspects of diving and hyperbaric medicine that are of interest to diving medical professionals, physicians of all specialties, scientists, members of the diving and hyperbaric industries, and divers themselves.
Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively to DHM, unless an authenticated copyright exemption accompanies the work. After editorial pre-screening all submissions chosen to progress are subject to peer review. Occasional exceptions to this are societal policy documents or the products of consensus or committee processes. Accepted manuscripts will be edited for clarity, style, and journal format.
