Journal overview

Journal of CME ( JCME) is a PubMed-indexed journal publishing open access, peer-reviewed research on CME-CPD planning, design, delivery, assessment and regulation.

JCME aims to serve as the principal international journal for those who provide, accredit, partake in and benefit from the practice of CME-CPD.

The journal publishes:

  • Original articles: covering topics within the practice, methods, techniques and outcomes of CME-CPD programmes and systems from all stakeholder perspectives
  • Review articles: narrative or systematic reviews of the CME-CPD literature
  • Short communications: narrowly focused articles expressing objective opinions, experiences or perspectives on an important area in CME-CPD
  • Editorials: on topics of general CME-CPD interest, written by the Editorial/Board members or solicited by the Editor-in-Chief
  • Letters to the Editors: topics include recent publications in JCME or timely developments in relevant topics published elsewhere
  • Collections: themed articles typically commissioned by the Editor-in-Chief



Additionally, JCME considers articles on learning theories and models in relation to use of the theories in practice, and on undergraduate and postgraduate education if the content is applicable to CME-CPD.

The journal actively champions and supports practical discussion regarding development of unified international accreditation standards.
Suggestions and enquiries from potential guest editors, meeting organisers and sponsors are welcomed.

The journal operates a double-anonymized peer review policy.
All articles will be made freely and permanently available online through gold open access publication.
