Open access publisher BioMed Central, UK, has announced the addition of leading case report journals - Journal of Medical Case Reports (JMCR) and Cases Journals - to its expanding portfolio. Since their inception, both these journals, which currently provide over 2000 freely accessible case reports, have received widespread recognition and high quality submissions from across the medical community. Through their innovative approach, these journals make each individual patient's case a valuable addition to medical literature.
These cases can often serve as early warning signals for the adverse effects of new medications, or the presentations of new and emerging diseases. Professor Michael Kidd from Flinders University in Australia is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Medical Case Reports. Cases Journal which is edited by regular Guardian columnist Richard Smith, will look to complete the scientific record for future generations by publishing any report that is understandable, ethical, authentic, and includes all information essential to its interpretation.
Over the past few years, authors have submitted case reports to these journals from countries as far as Nepal and Iran. This signifies the inherent value that case reports have to improving clinical practice globally.
