336"The journey of Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR) began with the objective to encourage medical health professionalsto publish their experiences to benefit the medical community and today it has evolved successfully into a reputed international, peer reviewed journal for the medical and dental community, published by Premchand Shantidevi Research Foundation (PSRF, India) under the expert and unbiased guidance of Dr.Hemant Jain, the Editor-in-chief and his entire team of dedicated professionals. 337 <br />Being associated as a regular reviewer of the journal, I feel that the proactive editorial board members along with the experienced reviewers critically evaluate the submitted manuscripts thereby making sure oftime-bound publishing of deserved articles of excellent quality and those adding new knowledge to the existing literature. 338 <br />I am sure any author or reviewer of this journal will agree that manuscript submission portal of the journal is comprehensive and facilitates easy and hassel free interface for manuscript submission or review. The journal offers a variety of services which include - peer review, proof reading, setting up of the bibliography, and English language improvement to facilitatethose authors who may lack the motivation or may be facing constraints of time. 339 <br />I believe that the unique feature of "Author reward" encourages the authors to submit high quality manuscripts which surely would bring more citation and improve the impact factor of the journal. Being indexed in many highly reputed databases (Web of Science, Scopus and Pubmed), I am sure an author would be at an added advantage that his/her publication would be viewed by many more researchers and hence cited by many other journals of high repute. 340 <br />With these innovative approaches, I believe that JCDR has the potential to attract researchers of high caliber to submit their work and share their experience with one another. I wish the entire team the very best and hope to see the Journal create a higher impact in the field of medical science.

The journal is multidisciplinary. It encourages in publishing the scientific articles from postgraduates and also the beginners who start their career.

422" Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR) is a multi-specialty medical and dental journal publishing high quality research articles in almost all branches of medicine. The quality of printing of figures and tables is excellent and comparable to any International journal. An added advantage is nominal publication charges and monthly issue of the journal and more chances of an article being accepted for publication. Moreover being a multi-specialty journal an article concerning a particular specialty has a wider reach of readers of other related specialties also. As an author and reviewer for several years I find this Journal most suitable and highly recommend this Journal." 423 <br /> 424 Best regards, <br /> 425C.S.

Its been a great pleasure to be 434associated with this esteemed journal as a reviewer and as an author for a couple of years. The editorial 435board consists of many dedicated and reputed experts as its members and they are doing an 436appreciable work in guiding budding researchers. JCDR is doing a commendable job in scientific research 437by promoting excellent quality research & review articles and case reports & series. The reviewers 438provide appropriate suggestions that improve the quality of articles. I strongly recommend my fraternity 439to encourage JCDR by contributing their valuable research work in this widely accepted, user friendly 440journal. I hope my collaboration with JCDR will continue for a long time". 441<br /><br /><br /><br /> 442Dr. Arundhathi.

Since then I have authored, co-authored and reviewed about 25 articles in JCDR. I thank JCDR for giving me an opportunity to improve my own skills as an author and a reviewer. 449<br />It 's a multispecialty journal, publishing high quality articles. It gives a platform to the authors to publish their research work which can be available for everyone across the globe to read. The best thing about JCDR is that the full articles of all medical specialties are available as pdf/html for reading free of cost or without institutional subscription, which is not there for other journals. For those who have problem in writing manuscript or do statistical work, JCDR comes for their rescue. 450<br />The journal has a monthly publication and the articles are published quite fast. In time compared to other journals. The on-line first publication is also a great advantage and facility to review one's own articles before going to print. The response to any query and permission if required, is quite fast; this is quite commendable. I have a very good experience about seeking quick permission for quoting a photograph (Fig.) from a JCDR article for my chapter authored in an E book. I never thought it would be so easy. No hassles. 451<br />Reviewing articles is no less a pain staking process and requires in depth perception, knowledge about the topic for review. It requires time and concentration, yet I enjoy doing it. The JCDR website especially for the reviewers is quite user friendly. My suggestions for improving the journal is, more strict review process, so that only high quality articles are published. I find a a good number of articles in Obst. Gynae, hence, a new journal for this specialty titled JCDR-OG can be started. May be a bimonthly or quarterly publication to begin with. Only selected articles should find a place in it. 452<br />An yearly reward for the best article authored can also incentivize the authors. Though the process of finding the best article will be not be very easy. I do n
452ot know how reviewing process can be improved. If an article is being reviewed by two reviewers, then opinion of one can be communicated to the other or the final opinion of the editor can be communicated to the reviewer if requested for. This will help ones reviewing skills. 453<br />My best wishes to Dr. Hemant Jain and all the editorial staff of JCDR for their untiring efforts to bring out this journal. I strongly recommend medical fraternity to publish their valuable research work in this esteemed journal, JCDR". 454<br/><br/><br/><br/> 455Dr. Mamta Gupta<br/> 456Consultant<br/> 457(Ex HOD Obs &Gynae, Hindu Rao Hospital and associated NDMC Medical College, Delhi) <br/> 458Aug 2018</a><br/><br /><br /><br /> 459 460 461 <a style="text-decoration:none; color:Blue" href="https://jcdr.net/Testimonials.asp#5">Dr. Rajendra Kumar Ghritlaharey<br /> 462<br />"I wish to thank Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), for asking me to write up few words. 463<br />Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium i e; into the words and sentences on paper. Quality medical manuscript writing in particular, demands not only a high-quality research, but also requires accurate and concise communication of findings and conclusions, with adherence to particular journal guidelines. In medical field whether working in teaching, private, or in corporate institution, everyone wants to excel in his / her own field and get recognised by making manuscripts publication.</p> 464 465<br />Authors are the souls of any journal, and deserve much respect. To publish a journal manuscripts are needed from authors. Authors have a great responsibility for producing facts of their work in terms of number and results truthfully and an individual honesty is expected from authors in this regards. Both ways its true "No authors-No manuscripts-No journals" and "No journalsNo manuscriptsNo authors". Reviewing a manuscript is also a very responsible and important task of any peer-reviewed journal and to be taken seriously. It needs knowledge on the subject, sincerity, honesty and determination. Although the process of reviewing a manuscript is a time consuming task butit is expected to give one's best remarks within the time frame of the journal. 466<br />Salient features of the JCDR: It is a biomedical, multidisciplinary (including all medical and dental specialities), e-journal, with wide scope and extensive author support. At the same time, a free text of manuscript is available in HTML and PDF format. There is fast growing authorship and readership with JCDR as this can be judged by the number of articles published in it i e; in Feb 2007 of its first issue, it contained 5 articles only, and now in its recent volume published in April 2011, it contained 67 manuscripts. This e-journal is fulfilling the commitments and objectives sincerely, (as stated by Editor-in-chief in his preface to first edition) i e; to encourage physicians through the internet, especially from the developing countries who witness a spectrum of disease and acquire a wealth of knowledge to publish their experiences to benefit the medical community in patients care. I also feel that many of us have work of substance, newer ideas, adequate clinical materials but poor in medical writing and hesitation to submit the work and need help. JCDR provides authors help in this regards. 467<br />Timely publication of journal: Publication of manuscripts and bringing out the issue in time is one of the positive aspects of JCDR and is possible with strong support team in terms of peer reviewers, proof reading, language check, computer operators, etc. This is one of the great reasons for authors to submit their work with JCDR. Another best part of JCDR is "Online first Publications" facilities available for the authors. This facility not only provides the prompt publications of the manuscripts but at the same time also early availability of the manuscripts for the readers. 468<br />Indexation and online availability: Indexation transforms the journal in some sense from its local ownership to the worldwide professional community and to the public.JCDR is indexed with Embase & EMbiology, Google Scholar, Index Copernicus, Chemical Abstracts Service, Journal seek Database, Indian Science Abstracts, to name few of them. Manuscriptspublished in JCDR are available on major search engines ie;
468 google, yahoo, msn. 469<br />In the era of fast growing newer technologies, and in computer and internet friendly environment the manuscripts preparation, submission, review, revision, etc and all can be done and checked with a click from all corer of the world, at any time. Of course there is always a scope for improvement in every field and none is perfect. To progress, one needs to identify the areas of one's weakness and to strengthen them. 470<br />It is well said that "happy beginning is half done" and it fits perfectly with JCDR. It has grown considerably and I feel it has already grown up from its infancy to adolescence, achieving the status of standard online e-journal form Indian continent since its inception in Feb 2007. This had been made possible due to the efforts and the hard work put in it. The way the JCDR is improving with every new volume, with good quality original manuscripts, makes it a quality journal for readers. I must thank and congratulate Dr Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief JCDR and his team for their sincere efforts, dedication, and determination for making JCDR a fast growing journal. 471<br />Every one of us: authors, reviewers, editors, and publisher are responsible for enhancing the stature of the journal. I wish for a great success for JCDR." 472 <br /><br /><br /><br /> 473 Thanking you<br /> 474With sincere regards<br /> 475Dr. Rajendra Kumar Ghritlaharey, M.S., M.

The main features of the journal which were outlined in the e-mail were extensive author support, cash rewards, the peer review process, and other salient features of the journal. 484<br /> Over a span of over four years, we (I and my colleagues) have published around 25 articles in the journal. In this editorial, I plan to briefly discuss my experiences of publishing with JCDR and the strengths of the journal and to finally address the areas for improvement. 485<br /> My experiences of publishing with JCDR: Overall, my experiences of publishing withJCDR have been positive. The best point about the journal is that it responds to queries from the author. This may seem to be simple and not too much to ask for, but unfortunately, many journals in the subcontinent and from many developing countries do not respond or they respond with a long delay to the queries from the authors 1. The reasons could be many, including lack of optimal secretarial and other support. Another problem with many journals is the slowness of the review process. Editorial processing and peer review can take anywhere between a year to two years with some journals. Also, some journals do not keep the contributors informed about the progress of the review process. Due to the long review process, the articles can lose their relevance and topicality. A major benefit with JCDR is the timeliness and promptness of its response. In Dr Jain's e-mail which was sent to me in 2007, before the introduction of the Pre-publishing system, he had stated that he had received my submission and that he would get back to me within seven days and he did! 486<br /> Most of the manuscripts are published within 3 to 4 months of their submission if they are found to be suitable after the review process. JCDR is published bimonthly and the accepted articles were usually published in the next issue. Recently, due to the increased volume of the submissions, the review process has become slower and it ?? Section can take from 4 to 6 months for the articles to be reviewed. The journal has an extensive author support system and it has recently introduced a paid expedited review process. The journal also mentions the average time for processing the manuscript under different submission systems - regular submission and expedited review. 487<br /> Strengths of the journal: The journal has an online first facility in which the accepted manuscripts may be published on the website before being included in a regular issue of the journal. This cuts down the time between their acceptance and the publication. The journal is indexed in many databases, though not in PubMed. The editorial board should now take steps to index the journal in PubMed. The journal has a system of notifying readers through e-mail when a new issue is released. Also, the articles are available in both the HTML and the PDF formats. I especially like the new and colorful page format of the journal. Also, the access statistics of the articles are available. The prepublication and the manuscript tracking system are also helpful for the authors. 488<br /> Areas for improvement: In certain cases, I felt that the peer review process of the manuscripts w
488as not up to international standards and that it should be strengthened. Also, the number of manuscripts in an issue is high and it may be difficult for readers to go through all of them. The journal can consider tightening of the peer review process and increasing the quality standards for the acceptance of the manuscripts. I faced occasional problems with the online manuscript submission (Pre-publishing) system, which have to be addressed. 489<br /> Overall, the publishing process with JCDR has been smooth, quick and relatively hassle free and I can recommend other authors to consider the journal as an outlet for their work." 490<br /><br /><br /><br /> 491Dr. P.

Many standard journals 668 are published from the Indian subcontinent itself. However, JCDR is unique and aimed 669 at being very different. The editor-in-chief felt challenged when he worked in a 670 western setup after spending almost a decade in the Indian private sector. He realised 671 that although physicians in developing countries witness a range of disease spectrums, 672 and acquire a wealth of knowledge because of high clinical exposure, they do not 673 publish their experiences. As a result, medical practitioners in developing countries 674 are often rendered speechless while discussing in an international forum. Lack of 675 motivation, lack of time and a busy schedule prevent these practitioners from publishing 676 their findings. Many feel strongly motivated to express and narrate their opinion, 677 but to write the same most lose the motivation. The lack of scientific writing skills 678 among young researchers and postgraduate students leads to failure of their research 679 thesis reaching any journal of repute. 680 </p> 681 <p> 682 We aim to use this journal to publish the findings of doctors working at the ground 683 level and that of young researchers. Very soon, we will provide commentaries from 684 senior experienced physicians. The first step will involve helping physicians and 685 researchers to draft and write articles. We will make constructive changes to the 686 original draft submitted. For authors whose second language is English, we will 687 provide English editorial services as well. 688 </p> 689 <p> 690 Although this journal has been started in India, we believe such needs exist with 691 many researchers in various countries and openly welcome original articles and case 692 reports from around the world. We promise to provide similar unbiased service to 693 every one who wishes to use our services.</p> 694 </div> 695 696 <div class="subHead"> 697 <a name="6"></a>Licenses 698 </div> 699 <div class="content"> 700 <p><a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/"><img src="https://jcdr.net/images/CCA.jpg" alt=""/></a></p> 701 <p>Articles in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research are Open Access articles under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/">
