The Indian Journal of Medical Research is a peer-reviewed open-access medical journal.[1][2] It is published by Medknow Publications on behalf of the Indian Council of Medical Research.[1] Since 1977, it has been published monthly with six issues per volume.[3] The journal publishes original "technical and clinical studies related to health, ethical and social issues" in biomedical research[1] as well as narrative and evidence-based review articles.[4] The editor-in-chief is Samiran Panda[5] who took up the position in July 2022. In addition to regular issues, the journal publishes special issues and supplements,[1] with the latter published under a different ISSN.[6]

History

The journal was first established as a quarterly publication in July 1913,[7] mostly continuing with this publication rate until it was made bimonthly in 1958 and then monthly in 1964.[1] There was, however, a period during 1940 and then between 1943 and 1946 when it was published half-yearly. The number of issues per volume was reduced from 1977, with two volumes of six issues being published each year.[3] In 1989, the journal was split into two parts: Section A dealt with publications on infectious diseases (OCLC 684369142) whilst biomedical research outside that area was published in Section B (OCLC 684475647).[3] These sections were re-merged from 1994 but with a new ISSN (0971-5916 replaced ISSN 0019-5340), which remains in use today. The journal has been celebrating its centenary of publications between July 2012 and July 2013.[2][3]

The inaugural editor of the journal was Sir Pardey Lukis (1857–1917), the Director-General of the Indian Medical Service (1910–1917), who served in both positions until his death.[8]
