The International Journal of General Medicine is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on general and internal medicine. The journal showcases categorized research on diseases related to specific areas of the body, curated by a global team of experts within each area.
Clinical studies in all areas of human disease and medicine are welcome.
Specific topics covered by the journal include:
• Diagnosis and nonsurgical treatment of diseases
• Elucidation of disease processes and management protocols
• Patient perspectives including satisfaction, quality of life, health literacy and communication
• Development of new healthcare programs and optimizing clinical outcomes
• Improved patient outcomes
• Monitoring and treatment protocols
• Multi-system disease processes
• Prevention
• Pathogenesis
• Epidemiology
The International Journal of General Medicine is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research, and clinical studies across all disease areas.
When considering submission of a paper utilizing publicly available data (e.g. SEER/GWAS/TCGA/GEO etc.), authors should ensure that such studies add significantly to the body of knowledge about a specific disease or relevant phenotype and that they are validated using the author’s own data through replication in an independent sample set and functional follow-up. Bioinformatics studies should also conform to these criteria.
The International Journal of General Medicine will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication. The journal will not consider research purely focusing on surgical techniques, cell lines or animal studies.
Case reports/series submitted to the International Journal of General Medicine will be diverted to the International Medical Case Reports Journal (Journal metric data for this journal can be accessed here).
