The Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine has launched its first scholarly medical journal.
The Marshall Journal of Medicine is a peer-reviewed, open-access online journal designed to shed light on medical issues and conditions of priority to West Virginians and the Appalachian region. The first issue features submissions from physicians, medical faculty and residents from both Marshall University and West Virginia University. Dr. Darshana Shah, associate dean for faculty affairs and professional development, will serve as the editor-in-chief of the journal.
As an open-access publication, the Marshall Journal of Medicine facilitates online collaboration among researchers and allows them to build on the findings of others without restriction in order to accelerate discovery. The first issue can be viewed at mds.marshall.edu/mjm.
In addition to Shah, members of the journal's editorial board include Dr. James Becker; Dr. James Denvir; Dr. Mehiar El-Hamdani; Dr. Susan L. Flesher; Dr. Suzanne Holroyd; Dr. Aravinda Nanjundappa; Dr. Mohammed Ranavaya; Dr. Nalini Santanam; and Dr. Franklin Shuler.
Anyone, regardless of institutional affiliation, may submit an original article to be considered for publication. Marshall Journal of Medicine accepts scholarly articles, including case studies, original research, review articles and letters to the editor. Articles also receive Digital Object Identifiers, or DOIs, from the CrossRef organisation to ensure they can always be found. The journal does not charge for submission. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis online at mds.marshall.edu/mjm.
