There is no dearth of journals published around the world.
Many standard journals are published from the Indian subcontinent
itself. However, JCDR
is unique and aimed at being very different. The editor-in-chief
felt challenged when he worked in a western setup after spending
almost a decade in the Indian private sector. He realised
that although physicians in developing countries witness a
range of disease spectrums, and acquire a wealth of knowledge
because of high clinical exposure, they do not publish their
experiences. As a result, medical practitioners in developing
countries are often rendered speechless while discussing in
an international forum. Lack of motivation, lack of time and a busy schedule prevent these practitioners from publishing their findings.
Many feel strongly motivated to express and narrate their
opinion, but to write the same most lose the motivation.
The lack of scientific writing skills among young researchers
and postgraduate students leads to failure of their research
thesis reaching any journal of repute.
We aim to use this e-journal to publish the findings of doctors
working at the ground level and that of young researchers.
Very soon, we will provide commentaries from senior experienced
physicians. The first step will involve helping physicians
and researchers to draft and write articles. We will make
constructive changes to the original draft submitted. For
authors whose second language is English, we will provide
English editorial services as well.
Although this journal has been started in India, we believe
such needs exist with many researchers in various countries
and openly welcome original articles and case reports from
around the world. We promise to provide similar unbiased
service to every one who wishes to use our services.

| The
Editorial Statements |
 |
JCDR strongly supports research that will benefit medical
science and discourages the publication of articles that merely
represent pre-established and repetitive facts. However, at
times, the journal does allow publication of articles that
may have been reported in Western literature but have not
been reported from the developing and the underdeveloped world.
This is with a dual aim, to promote medical publication from
these countries and to recognize the fact that disease and
disease behaviour may vary widely between populations.
JCDR provides services, if required by authors, in view
of supporting them to write the good quality articles. In
return it charges nominal fees. Details of this can be found
under author services.
The philosophy of publishers behind JCDR is to promote
research publication from less privileged parts of the world.
The publishers do not propose to earn profit from the journal
services. Hence most services provided are at par or below
the costs to the publishers.
JCDR welcomes and encourages authors who want to submit
articles without availing its paid services.
There is no charge for submission of manuscript that is
prepared by the authors themselves.
The publisher (PSRF, India) rewards articles published in
this journal for which authors did not avail any paid service
from JCDR.
JCDR Editorial Board and publisher take proactive steps
in remaining unbiased to authors who avail or do not avail
paid services.
The criteria for acceptance, format of manuscript and peer
review process for authors who use or do not use paid services
remains identical.
Under no circumstances or incentive JCDR will publish
an article without merit and peer review.
JCDR is a wide scope journal with topics embracing most
fields of Medicine. The topics covered in the journal will be of relevance
to physicians, researchers as well as specialists.
Our target audience is Medical fraternity across the
globe.
JCDR editorial content and decisions are independent and
not influenced by sponsorships or
advertisements.
Authors are required to
provide details of any conflict of interest which may be
present in their manuscripts.
Advertisements are allowed only on the sides panel of the
website pages. These are not tagged or linked to any
particular manuscript. No advertisements is allowed within
or immediately following an article. No manuscript specific
advertisements are accepted.
JCDR respects the privacy of the authors and their
personal information. Only information provided on the
published manuscripts relates to the manuscript in question
and is provided after permission from the authors. JCDR does
not share or provide personal information of authors to
third party.
