The Marmara Medical Journal (MarmaraMedJ), first published in 1988, is an open-access, double-blind peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary, academic publication of the Marmara University, School of Medicine. The journal covers advances in medicine and novel treatments for an audience of general practitioners, medical students, and senior practitioners and specialists.
Marmara Med J aims to publish original clinical and experimental research conducted in all fields of medicine. Only unpublished papers that are not under review for publication elsewhere can be submitted. Original research papers, case reports, articles about clinical and practical applications and editorials, case reports, and letters to the editor are accepted, as well as review articles (mostly invited). The journal will not consider research purely focusing on questionaries.
The journal establishes a scientific bridge between the medical professionals in Turkey and their counterparts abroad to present their research to readers.
The Marmara Medical Journal welcomes articles focusing on clinical and basic medical sciences. Each issue contains approximately fifteen articles, including original research, compilation, clinical content, a letter from the editor to editor, short article, special articles, case reports, and, in some numbers, a medical imaging contest. Special review numbers with invited editors have been published since 2015 to focus on specific areas of medicine to draw attention to the latest data covering various aspects of the selected topic. Marmara Medical Journal invites and encourages physicians from all over the world to publish a special review number on their preferred subject as "Invited editor" in order to cooperate with authors in the same focus field in order to increase scientific cooperation through publication.
