Abstract:
This special editorial assessed the recent developments in Malaysian Journal of Medical
Sciences (MJMS) and examined the characteristics of the submission, peer review, and publication
processes for MJMS. This retrospective analysis used information about the manuscripts submitted
to MJMS during the one-year period (from 1 June 2010 to 31 May 2010) since the start of current
online submission and review system (ScholarOneTM Manuscripts, Thomson Reuters). In addition,
we also discussed the future directions of MJMS. Finally, we would like to recommend an annual
internal audit for MJMS, which is very useful to monitor the growth of this journal progressively.
