Approximately 30,000 records are included in the PubMed journal list which is updated daily and includes all MEDLINE® titles as well as other non-MEDLINE titles in PubMed . The PubMed journal list covers the entire span of MEDLINE, not just currently indexed journals. The non-MEDLINE journals include those whose content is deposited in PMC (PubMed Central) . PMC is also the repository for author manuscripts that are required under the NIH Public Access Policy to be deposited when the research is funded by NIH. Certain other government agencies or funding organizations use PMC for their Public Access Policy requirements as well.

NLM creates a cataloging record for every journal with a full text article in PMC. Therefore, while most MEDLINE journals over the years have citations for all substantive content published, some of the non-MEDLINE journals may contribute far fewer citations over the years.

A few notes about the PubMed journal list:

• The list is offered in different formats; see: How do I know if my journal is indexed in MEDLINE/PubMed?
• The records are not in alphabetical order.
• The JrId is a sequential identifier number for the journals that appear in various NCBI databases; therefore, the PubMed journal list has gaps in the JrID range. The bottom JrID number does not equal the total number of records in the file.
• Full journal title names may contain initial grammar articles (e.g., The, An, A) which may affect use of these data for searching and filing purposes.
• The NlmId is the accession number for the journal cataloging record in the NLM bibliographic database. LocatorPlus and the NLM Catalog on the NCBI Entrez system are public interfaces to NLM bibliographic data.
• MedAbbr is a short form of the full journal title; it is assigned whether the title is a MEDLINE journal or not.
• ISO Abbreviations are constructed at NLM to assist NCBI in linking from GenBank to PubMed.

Criteria for Publication

Our goal is to publish research done well. This means we look for research that adds to the academic record, either as novel or corroborative evidence, and adheres to ethical standards, uses robust methodologies that are transparent and reproducible, and uses appropriate statistical analyses to ensure clear, credible, and trustworthy results. The Journal of International Medical Research evaluates manuscripts based on how the research was conducted and reported.

• All manuscripts:
• must comply with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975 and EQUATOR Network reporting guidelines (e.g. CONSORT for randomized, controlled trials, PRISMA for systematic reviews/meta-analyses, STROBE for most observational studies, ARRIVE for animal studies and CARE for case reports).
• are subject to single-blind peer review (comments from at least two external peer reviewers).
• receive high-quality scientific and language editing before publication.
• must follow our publishing policies .
• The journal endorses the ICMJE requirement that clinical trials are registered in a WHO-approved public trials registry at or before the time of first patient enrolment. However, consistent with the AllTrials campaign , retrospectively registered trials will be considered if the justification for late registration is acceptable.

The Editors are looking for medical research that adds to the existing literature either as novel or corroborative evidence. We will consider replication studies and negative/null results studies.

We welcome manuscripts across all the main fields, branches, specialties (and subspecialties) and therapeutic areas of medicine. This includes: allergy and immunology, anaesthesia and analgesia, bioinformatics, cardiology, cardiovascular system, clinical epidemiology, clinical pharmacology, critical care, dentistry, dermatology, diabetes and endocrinology, emergency medicine, gastroenterology, geriatrics, haematology, hepatology, immunology, infectious disease, men’s health, musculoskeletal disease, nephrology, neurology, obstetrics and gynaecology, oncology (all solid tumours), ophthalmology, oral and dental health, orthopaedics, otorhinolaryngology, paediatrics and neonatology, pharmacology, psychiatry, regenerative medicine, respiratory disease, rheumatology, sexual health, sports medicine, surgery (all areas), therapeutics, urology, women’s health.

We publish original clinical research (randomised controlled trials, observational studies) and preclinical research ( in vitro studies, animal studies, in silico studies), systematic reviews and meta-analyses, narrative reviews, and case reports/series.

We do not publish the following research:

• Public health studies, social/nursing care studies, epidemiology studies, health economics and outcomes research
• Alternative and complementary medicine
• Bioinformatics without clinical, in vitro , or in vivo validation
• in vitro cell lines studies without in vivo/ clinical validation; in silico studies without supporting evidence of their downstream effects  in vivo  or in  vitro
• Simple database studies, simple bibliographic studies, common cases
• Studies with limited international appeal that are more suited for a local or niche journal
• Life science and engineering studies: these may be suitable for our sister publication, Science Progress.
