西印度醫學雜志 SCIE

期刊簡介預計審稿時間： 偏慢,4-8周

The Journal is international in scope, with author and editorial contributions from across the globe. The focus is on clinical and epidemiological aspects of tropical and infectious diseases, new and re-emerging infections, chronic non-communicable diseases, and medical conditions prevalent in the Latin America-Caribbean region, and of significance to global health, especially in developing countries. The Journal covers all medical disciplines, as well as basic and translational research elucidating the pathophysiologic basis of diseases or focussing on new therapeutic approaches, and publishes original scientific research, reviews, case reports, brief communications, letters, commentaries and medical images. The Journal publishes four to six issues and four supplements annually. English is the language of publication but Abstracts are also duplicated in Spanish. Most of the articles are submitted at the authors’ initiative, but some are solicited by the Editor-in-Chief. Unless expressly stated, the Editorial Board does not accept responsibility for authors’ opinions.

All papers on submission are reviewed by a subcommittee. Those deemed worthy for review are sent to two or three reviewers (one of the three might be a statistician if necessary). The returned papers with reviewer comments are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief. Papers may be rejected, accepted or sent back to authors for revision. Resubmitted papers from authors are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief and may be sent back to reviewers or a final decision made by Editor-in-Chief. The decision of the Editorial Board is final with regards to rejected articles. Rejected articles will not be returned to the authors. The editorial subcommittee has the right to return sub-standard manuscripts to the authors, rather than passing them on to the reviewers. This implies outright rejection of the manuscript.

該期刊具有國際視野，作者和編輯人員來自世界各地。重點關注熱帶和傳染病的臨床和流行病學方面、新發和復發感染、慢性非傳染性疾病以及拉丁美洲和加勒比地區普遍存在的對全球健康（尤其是發展中國家）具有重要意義的疾病。該期刊涵蓋所有醫學學科，以及闡明疾病病理生理基礎或關注新治療方法的基礎和轉化研究，并發表原創科學研究、評論、病例報告、簡短通訊、信件、評論和醫學圖像。該期刊每年出版四至六期和四期增刊。出版語言為英語，但摘要也以西班牙語復制。大多數文章是作者主動提交的，但有些文章是由主編征求的。除非明確說明，否則編輯委員會不對作者的意見負責。

提交的所有論文均由小組委員會審查。那些被認為值得審查的論文將被發送給兩到三名審稿人（如果有必要，其中一人可能是統計學家）。主編將審閱退回的論文和審稿人的評論。論文可能會被拒絕、接受或退回給作者進行修改。作者重新提交的論文將由主編審閱，并可能退回給審稿人或由主編做出最終決定。對于被拒絕的文章，編輯委員會的決定是最終決定。被拒絕的文章不會退還給作者。編輯小組委員會有權將不合格的手稿退還給作者，而不是將其交給審稿人。這意味著徹底拒絕手稿。
