LAUNCHING A MEDICAL JOURNAL FROM A BUDDING INSTITUTION

Abstract

Launching a scientific journal, especially from a budding new medical institution is not so easy like it sounds. When in governmental set-up, a lot of formalities have to be fulfilled before the actual labouring task starts. Getting permission to publish, setting up an editorial board, and receiving the articles for publication are some of the corners to turn around before running on a straight track. Kashmir Journal of Medical Sciences has started its publication from a public sector medical school which is yet in infancy itself. Publication of Kashmir J Med Sci is a milestone crossed by the AJK Medical College fulfilling its pledge to impart quality medical education to thepeople of the region and playing its role in continuing medical research.
