Aims & Scope

Aims

Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences (ISSN 2392-7674) is an international, peer reviewed, and open access journal which provides an advanced academic forum for papers related to the mind or body in health and disease. It publishes reviews, original research, case reports, and editorials, but other article types will also be considered. In addition, JMMS publishes Special Issues on particular topics of interest.

The journal encourages interdisciplinary perspectives that integrate basic, clinical, and translational research on the human mind or medical topics. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced, and computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure can be deposited as supplementary material. The journal has no restriction on the maximum length of the papers.
