International Journal of Clinical Research

About the Journal

The International Journal of Clinical Research is a medical journal that publishes high-quality, open-access, peer-reviewed articles, and interactive clinical content for physicians, educators, and the global medical community.

The journal was founded by a group of expert physicians, to encourage and promote scientific research, especially in a resident-to-student and resident-to-resident manner.

IJCR is a nonprofit journal guaranteeing high-quality publications while waiving publication fees, making sure that no authors are financially disadvantaged. Our Editorial Team guides young researchers through the process of publishing, particularly in underprivileged communities.

To these ends, the IJCR Editorial Team employs rigorous editorial, peer, and statistical review processes to evaluate manuscripts for scientific accuracy, novelty, and importance, and follows defined policies and practices to ensure that authors disclose all relevant financial associations and that such associations in no way influence the content IJCR publishes.
