Macedonian Biomedical Science: Current Standing and Suggestions for Improvement
Journal Title: Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (MJMS) - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The first 7 issues of the newly established Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (Maced J Med Sci) is a welcome addition to the rather sparse medical publication list in our country (Republic of Macedonia). Within its first 2 years of existence, the Journal has already fulfilled one of the main aims of any research journal, that of not only being widely accessible to it’s readership but also providing them with good quality research papers. The carefully selected panel of the editorial and advisory board, consisting of a range of well known national and international medical experts, appears to be supported by an increasing number of international reviewers, stretching up to the Nigerian, USA and Brazilian shores. The Journal has so far provided a series of reviews on the state of the current Macedonian biomedical science, via extensive analysis of the research publications arising from the Medical Faculty, University of St Cyril and Methodius in Skopje. The information contained in these studies should not be considered as a criticism of the current state of the Macedonian biomedical science, but as an audit describing the current state, as well as providing some solutions how to overcome the latter. As for the Journal’s continuous improvement in scientific standing, we would suggest the editors to consider inviting outstanding international biomedical scientists to submit brief reviews (1,500-2,000 words in length) of their choice in their speciality, and or invite them to contribute a brief editorial about some of the publications.
