MCMR Journal honors integrity; all authors must submit original manuscripts, free of errors, with APA citations.

Uncited or plagiarized manuscripts will be disqualified immediately. All manuscripts are screened for plagiarism and similarities. They can be rejected at any stage if there are any irregularities with the submission. 

Basic medical science, clinical medicine, abstracts, case studies/reports, and public health manuscripts are highly considered. Please note that all articles must follow the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).

MCMR Journal urges authors to be concise in their research. All articles must be edited before submission. However, editing service is available to the authors for an additional cost. The journal requests authors to follow specific guidelines and present information sufficiently.
