Aim & Scope
The Global Journal of Comprehensive Medical Reports & Reviews has been established to promote the publication of structured, experience-based medical literature that reflects the realities of clinical care across a wide range of healthcare settings. The journal is committed to supporting the documentation, reflection, and academic presentation of patient-centred observations, diagnostic encounters, clinical reviews, and retrospective analyses.
The primary aim of the journal is to provide a formal platform for medical professionals to share clinically relevant insights, complications, diagnostic lessons, and review-based findings that arise through the practice of medicine. In doing so, the journal seeks to strengthen the value of descriptive, analytical, and case-based medical contributions that often serve as essential tools in teaching, practice, and institutional learning.
This journal recognises that practical knowledge is often generated in the context of individual patients, clinical teams, or institutional experiences. Such knowledge may not always fit into the frameworks of experimental research or clinical trials but can still provide essential guidance to other healthcare providers. By supporting the publication of case reports, audits, educational reviews, and narrative commentaries, the journal aims to capture the full range of evidence that informs medical decision-making in everyday practice.
The journal welcomes contributions from physicians, residents, clinical educators, specialists, allied health professionals, and public health practitioners. It values clarity, academic honesty, and educational intent above technical complexity, and it prioritises submissions that are useful to both experienced professionals and early-career clinicians.
Scope
The scope of the Global Journal of Comprehensive Medical Reports & Reviews includes a broad range of topics and article types that focus on applied, clinical, and educational aspects of medicine. Submissions may be drawn from any recognised medical discipline and may include work carried out in outpatient, inpatient, rural, urban, academic, or private practice settings.
The journal invites original content in the following categories:
1. Case Reports and Case Series
Well-documented case reports and case series that demonstrate diagnostic challenges, unusual presentations, rare conditions, therapeutic dilemmas, or unexpected outcomes. Submissions should include sufficient clinical context, structured presentation of history and findings, discussion of differential diagnoses, and learning points relevant to everyday practice.
Reports may cover:
- Rare diseases or uncommon manifestations of common diseases
- Unexpected treatment responses or adverse reactions
- Errors and complications with an educational analysis
- Novel uses of established diagnostic tools or procedures
- Ethical challenges in patient care
- Interdisciplinary or multi-specialty case involvement
2. Clinical Reviews and Educational Overviews
Structured review articles that synthesise knowledge on clinical topics of interest. These articles should present up-to-date, evidence-based information in a format that supports practical use by clinicians.
Examples include:
- Management strategies for common clinical conditions
- Diagnostic pathways for ambiguous or multi-system presentations
- Review of guideline updates and implications for practice
- Comparative reviews of therapeutic approaches or interventions
- Historical reviews with contemporary relevance
- Reviews targeted at examination preparation or structured teaching
3. Retrospective Analyses and Departmental Reports
Manuscripts that summarise institutional or departmental experience, audits of clinical procedures, quality improvement studies, or retrospective chart reviews.
Acceptable topics may include:
- Complication tracking and trend identification
- Retrospective data from hospital records with proper ethics oversight
- Practice patterns and their outcomes
- Resource use and referral analysis
- Evaluation of clinical workflows or service delivery models
4. Diagnostic and Procedural Insights
Short reports or technical notes related to clinical techniques, diagnostic approaches, bedside methods, or innovations in patient assessment.
These may involve:
- Practical procedural techniques refined through experience
- Modifications of existing clinical tools
- Resource-conscious diagnostics or improvised methods in constrained settings
- Use of point-of-care technologies and imaging interpretation strategies
5. Educational Tools and Teaching Reflections
Articles that share educational strategies, academic teaching tools, or reflections from clinical educators.
These may include:
- Case-based teaching models
- Clinical reasoning exercises
- Student assessment techniques
- Reflections on bedside teaching or small-group instruction
- Teaching innovations developed during residency or medical school
6. Commentary, Opinion, and Perspective
Thought pieces grounded in clinical experience or institutional practice. These articles may discuss ethical dilemmas, health systems issues, or personal reflections on healthcare delivery.
Authors may contribute:
- Opinion articles on controversial or evolving practices
- Reflections on end-of-life care or ethical uncertainty
- Perspective pieces from frontline clinical experience
- Commentary on medical education, professionalism, or patient communication
The journal supports contributions from all medical specialties and accepts work conducted in both high-resource and resource-limited environments. Reports that include region-specific clinical challenges, local practice adaptations, or culturally relevant aspects of care are encouraged, especially when lessons can be applied elsewhere.
All submissions must adhere to established ethical standards for clinical reporting. Authors are required to anonymise patient data and must obtain informed consent when clinical details or images could potentially identify the patient. For retrospective data reviews or institutional reports, ethics committee approval or exemption should be clearly stated.
The journal does not publish laboratory-based experimental research, drug development trials, or preclinical work in animal models. Its scope is limited to clinical content, with a strong emphasis on practice relevance, educational value, and structured reporting.
By offering a space for case-based knowledge, reflection, and synthesis, the Global Journal of Comprehensive Medical Reports & Reviews seeks to complement evidence from trials with insight from practice. Its scope reflects the importance of direct clinical experience, peer-reviewed reporting, and collaborative learning across healthcare systems and specialisations.
