The IMC Journal of Medical Sciences (IMCJMS) is a bi-annual publication of Ibrahim Medical College. IMCJMS was previously known as Ibrahim Medical College Journal, which was launched in January 2007. The name of the Ibrahim Medical College Journal has been changed to IMCJMS by the Editorial Board effective January 2016. Each issue of the journal is published in January and July of each year. All the previous issues of Ibrahim Medical College Journal are available in the journal's Archive.
The mission of the journal is to provide a platform for researchers and scientists from within the country and abroad for rapid publication of new findings and observations on issues pertinent to medical education and health care; and related issues of population and nutrition. The Journal prefers articles on studies that are well designed and substantiated by adequate and reliable data. Preference is given to medical issues of the developing countries. The Journal publishes review articles, original articles, brief research notes, clinical case reports and perspectives. The information, opinion and statements in the individual article are the responsibility of its author(s).
Once an author submits a manuscript it is entered into the log book.
Each manuscript is then read by an editor to assess its suitability for the journal. It includes the standard of presentation, the quality of the data presented, and conformity with the required style and format of the journal. Those papers judged by the editor(s) as inappropriate or outside the scope of our journal are rejected promptly without external review. Manuscripts within the scope of our journal are then sent out for review to a minimum of two additional reviewers. Here, the single blinded review process is followed. The reviewers' identities are withheld from the authors but the author(s) identity is revealed to reviewers. The reviewers return their recommendations and reports to the editor within the stipulated time. Once the reviewers’ comments are received, the editor, in consultation with other editors, takes one of the following decisions:
The comments or issues raised by the reviewers are communicated to the corresponding author. For manuscripts accepted pending revision, the authors must submit a revised manuscript addressing the issues raised by the reviewers. The revised manuscript goes through some of the stages mentioned above. Once a manuscript has been revised satisfactorily it is accepted and prepared for publication. The maximum time required for the review process is usually around 30 to 45 days from the date of submission.
The journal publishes two issues per year.
IMCJMS is an open access journal where Ibarhim Medical College bears its publication costs. It provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making results of the research freely available to the public and scientists across the globe will help in improving the life of human being in all countries of the world. Under the Open Access policy, all articles are available as outlined by the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, which states that others may distribute and copy the article, and include in a collective work (such as an anthology), as long as they credit the author(s) and provided they do not alter or modify the article.
