Editorial Policy

Editorial Guidelines

Pakistan Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research is a Pakistan-based international biomedical journal. We publish items of interest to practitioners and scientists in the area of medicine as a whole. For publication, articles reporting novel qualitative, quantitative, human/animal clinical, or laboratory investigations are considered. All articles should be understandable to the general reader and contribute to better clinical practise, medical education, research, and policy decisions. Case reports, case series, descriptive and analytical studies with clinical trials, brief reports, special communications, and letters to the editor are all examples of articles. Clinical conference abstracts, special issues, papers on innovation, research methodologies, and reporting are also published. Secondary research, such as narrative reviews, systematic reviews, evidence-based articles, meta-analyses, and practise recommendations, will be accepted for publication as well. Invited pieces are published on occasion. Manuscripts must be original and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

The Pakistan Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research has committed to accept and publish submissions in compliance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines (COPE).
