It will also feature research reviews, preliminary studies, and case reports. All the articles/studies are peer-reviewed by our multi-disciplinary editorial board and by reviewers, comprising experts from different specialties in medicine and surgery, who also have extensive research and publishing experience. The journal will provide an international academic and scientific platform to actively promote and encourage research in all major disciplines of medicine and surgery.
