The International Journal of Collaborative Research on Internal Medicine & Public Health (IJCRIMPH) founded in March 2009 celebrates its first anniversary this year. The successful organization of 2 series of International Online Medical Conferences provided an impetus for launching the journal with the assistance of our good publisher: DRUNPP. The journal has to date published 13 issues comprising of a total of 20 articles.

Despite the short tenure of the journal, it has been well received by the academic community. We are pleased to say that our authors, peer-reviewers and editorial board members come from all across the world. Besides, the journal and its published papers have been successfully indexed in established databases including (but not limited to) EBSCO, EMBASE, ProQuest, DOAJ, GALE Cengage, and IndexCopernicus.

Thanks to the highly-qualified and dedicated reviewers, IJCRIMPH has maintained a competitive average review process time of less than 1.5 months. Moreover, papers once accepted are published almost without any delay, helping successful authors to share their academic work with their peers in no time.

IJCRIMPH ensures high quality of its standards by requiring the editorial board members and reviewers to comply with the Editorial Policy Statements that are approved by the Council of Science Editors (CSE). Moreover, the journal complies with the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, issued by the International Committee for Medical Journal Editors.
