Abstract
Abstract:On behalf of all members of the editorial board, we welcome you to our new online journal, International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences. In this era of explosive growth of knowledge and publishing, we have the audacity to launch this journal to correct the anomalies related to the research productivity from India. Our efforts in delivering this baby originated from a prolonged unfavorable experience with the existing medical journals published from India. Most of the authors publishing from India are aware of the problems like editorial bias, delays in the review and publication timeframes.
