Call for submissions

After a 21-year hiatus, this historic journal returns to serve a clinical and scientific world that has clearly changed.

In an era where new scientific journals emerge daily, with varying formats, quality, and impacts, it is legitimate to question why we would resurrect a journal like this. The answer lies in the desire to do different, to cover orphan topics, to serve healthcare professionals, researchers, and other groups that can benefit from this platform. And to facilitate access to a platform that can positively provoke the community of all those who contribute to the health of populations.

We aim not just to honor our heritage, but rather be a sign and a contribution to the advancement and innovation in medicine in its multiple facets.

In this new life cycle, we are broadening our focus to include not only physicians but also other healthcare professionals and new emerging areas with implications for health. Medicine is increasingly an interdisciplinary activity, and we recognize the importance of integrating the diverse disciplines that contribute to this new model of care delivery. Thus, in addition to topics of clinical practice and research, our journal will place special emphasis on medical education, health technologies, interdisciplinary care, other healthcare professionals, and global health. It will also be our priority to become a privileged place for publication and consultation by our university students, thereby helping to disseminate their protocols and quality results.

Publishing in an open-access format, without publication fees and in English, is also a sign of our commitment to favoring a global but inclusive vision, while never losing the commitment to rigor and quality. We are committed to ensuring that each edition of our journal reflects the highest standards of scientific and ethical rigor, regardless of study design and publication format.

We invite all healthcare professionals, researchers, academics, engineers, and students to contribute their work and visions, sharing knowledge that can inspire and transform people’s health.

We thank the two oldest medical schools in Lisbon for the trust placed in us, as they now consider the JSCML their scientific publication.

Together, we will continue to honor our historical legacy while shaping the future of medicine.

With enthusiasm,

The Editorial Team
