The Journal of Medicine, Clinical Practice and Health Care Systems is dedicated to publishing scholarly work that spans the wide and interconnected fields of medicine, clinical research, healthcare delivery, and health system improvement. The journal’s primary aim is to offer a trusted platform for the dissemination of evidence-based medical knowledge and the examination of the systems and practices that support clinical care around the world. It emphasizes research that enhances the understanding of disease management, clinical decision-making, patient-centered care, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic advancements while also exploring operational, organizational, and systemic factors that affect healthcare outcomes.
The journal accepts original research, systematic reviews, clinical case reports, technical notes, and opinion pieces that advance both theoretical and applied aspects of medicine and healthcare systems. Authors are encouraged to submit works that showcase clinical excellence, propose innovative solutions in patient care, and highlight the evolution of healthcare practices across diverse populations and settings. Contributions that draw connections between clinical research and healthcare delivery are particularly valued.
Scope of Disciplines Covered
This journal welcomes work from all major clinical and health sciences disciplines, reflecting the complex, multidisciplinary nature of modern healthcare. Key areas of interest include general and internal medicine, surgery, infectious disease management, pharmacology, emergency and trauma care, anesthesiology, cardiology, oncology, neurology, nephrology, pulmonology, dermatology, psychiatry, family medicine, and geriatrics. Alongside these core medical specialties, the journal encourages submissions from allied disciplines that influence or contribute to patient care, including nursing, physiotherapy, laboratory medicine, nutrition, and public health.
The journal also prioritizes articles that focus on healthcare systems, policy implementation, hospital administration, quality assurance, healthcare financing, workforce management, medical education, and technology-enabled service delivery. Studies addressing topics such as patient safety, evidence-based clinical guidelines, telemedicine, electronic health records, and multidisciplinary care models are welcome. Submissions that critically examine healthcare reforms, access disparities, or emerging global health challenges are also within the journal’s scope.
International and Systemic Perspectives
The Journal of Medicine, Clinical Practice and Health Care Systems takes a global and comparative view of healthcare, inviting contributions from both developed and developing countries. The journal actively promotes international research collaborations, case studies from unique regional contexts, and analyses that reveal how local healthcare practices are influenced by culture, resources, infrastructure, or policy. Articles that explore the success or failure of clinical programs, public health interventions, or institutional reforms offer important insights and are encouraged.
This inclusive scope ensures that the journal remains relevant to practitioners and researchers across a variety of healthcare environments, from high-tech urban hospitals to rural and resource-limited settings. By fostering dialogue between researchers working in different contexts, the journal contributes to a more integrated and responsive global health community. Work that highlights system-level barriers to care, innovative delivery models, or population-based approaches is particularly valued for its potential to influence practice beyond individual clinical cases.
Types of Articles and Contributions Encouraged
The journal accepts a range of article types to accommodate the breadth of research in medicine and healthcare systems:
- Original Research Articles presenting new findings from clinical trials, observational studies, or healthcare program evaluations
- Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses offering comprehensive syntheses of available evidence on a specific clinical or healthcare systems topic
- Clinical Case Reports describing rare presentations, novel diagnostic techniques, or unexpected therapeutic responses
- Short Communications sharing preliminary data, pilot studies, or novel hypotheses
- Practice Innovations and Protocols that introduce new models of care or institutional workflows
- Policy and Opinion Papers analyzing emerging trends, ethical dilemmas, or health policy changes from a critical or advocacy perspective
- Health System Studies evaluating service delivery models, administrative strategies, or institutional performance metrics
Submissions that are interdisciplinary in nature and combine clinical science with healthcare delivery analysis are especially welcomed. The journal provides space for comparative studies across countries, healthcare models, or care levels, and for work that integrates clinical practice with health economics, policy research, or community-based implementation science.
Commitment to Practical Impact and Knowledge Sharing
Every published article in the Journal of Medicine, Clinical Practice and Health Care Systems is expected to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of clinical practice or the enhancement of healthcare delivery systems. The journal prioritizes work that has a direct or potential application to real-world medical settings. Authors are encouraged to explain the clinical or systemic relevance of their findings and to propose how their research might inform decision-making, improve outcomes, or guide future inquiry.
The journal serves an audience that includes physicians, surgeons, nurses, researchers, healthcare administrators, educators, and public health officials. Its open-access model ensures that all published work is freely available to practitioners and scholars worldwide, removing barriers to the exchange of knowledge and supporting the equitable development of healthcare science and practice.
The scope of the journal reflects the dynamic, evolving nature of both medicine and healthcare systems. As global health landscapes continue to change, the Journal of Medicine, Clinical Practice and Health Care Systems remains committed to publishing forward-thinking, methodologically sound, and socially relevant work that drives progress across both individual patient care and population-level health systems.
