Aims and Scope
1. Mission and Aims
Global Medical Reviews (GMR) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal dedicated to advancing medical knowledge through the publication of systematic reviews, meta-analyses, narrative reviews, and state-of-the-art literature reviews.
The journal’s mission is to provide a reliable platform for the critical synthesis of evidence in medicine and healthcare, support clinicians in evidence-based decision making, assist researchers in identifying gaps in current knowledge, and contribute to healthcare policy and education at local and global levels.
