Policies

  • Because the primary goal of the Graduate Medical Education Journal (GMERJ) is to support residents and fellows in their publication of scholarly work, at least one author of the manuscript must be a resident or fellow. Preference will be given to articles that include a house officer as either the first author or the corresponding author.
  • GMERJ will publish the following types of manuscripts: Original Reports, Literature Reviews (Systematic and Meta-Analysis), Case Reports, Brief Reports, Perspectives/Commentaries, Letters to the Editor, and Creative Works. Detailed guidelines for each manuscript type are available in the Manuscript Preparation Guidelines section.
  • GMERJ follows the policies put forth by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).
  • GMERJ conforms to the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) funding model in that all content is freely available to individuals and institutions without an embargo period. Users may "read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of the articles."
  • Issues of GMERJ are archived in the McGoogan Health Sciences Library's instance of Preservica. Preservica provides long-term preservation including diversified storage, active migration and normalization of files, and maintains authenticity through audit trails and checksum in accordance with community standards such as the Open Archival Information System (OAIS).

Article Processing Charge (APC) Statement

This policy will go into effect on December 1, 2024.

An Article Processing Charge (APC) of $ 150 will be levied for all manuscripts accepted for publication. There is no charge for submitting a manuscript to the Journal. The APC will only levy if your paper is accepted for publication after the completion of the peer-review process. The APC will cover the cost of publication.

House officers who are currently enrolled in any of the University of Nebraska Medical Center graduate medical education programs will be granted a waiver from the APC.

  • The Journal will not consider manuscripts that are simultaneously being considered by other journals, or that are redundant or duplicate in nature.
  • Once the manuscript has been submitted, it will be checked with Turnitin anti-plagiarism software before proceeding to editorial review.
  • The editorial review will evaluate the suitability of the material for GMERJ. If the manuscript passes editorial review, it will advance to single-blind peer review.
  • Once an article is accepted for publication and published on the web, authors do not have any right to make any change to their article.
