Abstract

There are many journals in biomedical society. Some journals are published locally and the quality control of these journals is very important. To select the best articles to include in the journal is the clue for improving the journal’s quality 1. As noted in the recent publication by Garg et al., “It can be concluded that manuscript rejection can be avoided by the authors, if the topic is well chosen and communication is maintained with the journal editorial”1. Indeed, to select a qualified journal into the library and database is the basic concept for any practitioner. Any articles that pass the first step of editorial screening and second step of peer reviewing will finally be published in the journal. It is the role of any new journal to upgrade and improve their publication to reach international standards.
