Dear Readers,
We are excited to announce the launch of the Norton Healthcare Medical Journal (NHMJ), a new publication that aims to provide a platform for the dissemination of valuable healthcare research and information to the international healthcare community.
We recognize the critical role of healthcare research in advancing patient care, but we also acknowledge the economic barriers that can hinder the optimal dissemination of healthcare research. To address these challenges, the NHMJ offers authors a free publication option and uses an open-access model to ensure unrestricted access for readers. We are grateful to the Norton Healthcare Research Office for their grant support in making this possible.
The NHMJ have engaged experienced healthcare practitioners from local, national, and international communities to facilitate timely peer-review of manuscripts, ensuring the quality and relevance of published research. We welcome a broad range of healthcare research topics, including traditional research studies as well as innovative ideas that have not been tested with the traditional scientific method.
To accommodate the variety of research topics, we offer authors multiple submission options, including original research articles, case reports or case series, review articles, clinical opinions, clinical overviews, clinical series, clinical focus, health policy narratives, editorials, perspectives, letters to the editor, on the literature discussions, patient management descriptions, study protocols, interviews, and multimedia presentations.
We believe that the variety of articles published in the NHMJ will foster the sharing of new ideas and facilitate advancements in healthcare. Our goal is to support the international research community in disseminating new healthcare information and to contribute to improving patient care.
Sincerely,
Julio A. Ramirez, MD, FACP
