Aims and Scope
The European Journal of Medical Case Reports (EJMCR) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality case reports and related clinical research in all areas of medicine.
Our mission is to provide an international platform for healthcare professionals, researchers, and clinicians to share knowledge derived from real-world patient encounters, enhancing global understanding of disease mechanisms, diagnostics, and therapeutic decision-making.
Key Objectives:
1. Dissemination of Clinical Insights
EJMCR highlights a broad spectrum of unique, instructive, and challenging clinical cases that advance medical understanding or clinical practice. By publishing well-documented case experiences, the journal contributes to the global repository of practical clinical knowledge.
2. Educational Resource
The journal serves as an educational reference for medical students, residents, and practitioners. Through detailed and structured case presentations, readers gain exposure to rare, atypical, or complex conditions that strengthen diagnostic reasoning and clinical management skills.
3. Promotion of Evidence-Based Medicine
EJMCR encourages comprehensive, evidence-based documentation, including detailed clinical history, examination findings, investigations, differential diagnoses, management strategies, and follow-up outcomes. This approach facilitates critical appraisal and supports evidence-based decision-making in practice.
4. Advancement of Medical Science
By emphasizing the publication of original observations and novel clinical phenomena, EJMCR contributes to hypothesis generation, further research, and the development of innovative diagnostic or therapeutic approaches.
5. Global Collaboration
EJMCR welcomes submissions from clinicians and researchers worldwide, fostering collaboration and the cross-exchange of knowledge between different healthcare systems, regions, and specialties.
