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."
  • There are no submission or publication charges associated with placing your work in GMERJ.

  • 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 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.
