Scope of the Journal
PJMS aims to promote excellence in medical science by publishing high-quality, evidence-based research covering a broad spectrum of medical disciplines. The journal provides a forum for healthcare professionals, clinicians, and researchers to share scientific findings, clinical experiences, and advancements in medical practice. It upholds an independent editorial policy, encouraging open expression of scientific opinions and fostering critical discourse on contemporary healthcare issues. The journal welcomes submissions that contribute to improving clinical practice, healthcare policies, and medical education both within Pakistan and internationally.
PJMS is widely circulated in major medical libraries across Pakistan, South East Asia, and the Asia Pacific, including the WHO EMRO Region countries. Recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan, the journal is indexed and abstracted in leading international databases such as the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Web of Science, SCOPUS, Embase, and WHO IMEMR. With its commitment to academic integrity and quality publishing standards, PJMS continues to play a pivotal role in advancing medical research and facilitating global scientific collaboration.
