I am glad to announce the inauguration of High Yield Medical Reviews (HYMR), an international, peer-reviewed journal that aims to connect researchers’ work with the needs of practicing physicians, filling the gap between research output and physicians’ needs.¹

Practicing physicians look for high quality up-to-date evidence that can be reflected as improvements of their patients’ outcome. With the inflation of literature in the last few decades, it became more difficult to find such evidence. Through HYMR, we curated an editorial board involving experts of the medical field, to frequently provide the topics of highest interest to practicing physicians that researchers should investigate and search to improve the impact and yield of their work. For each suggested topic, an internal team of expert physicians and scientists will formulate the search strategy and optimal methodology that will both, help researchers to accomplish their work more rapidly and efficiently and to ensure high quality methodology for the coming articles. Our audience includes practicing physicians who look for high quality evidence written in an understandable way, as well as researchers looking for high quality methodology to follow.

For our prospective authors, we established a publishing platform supported with the latest technology to ensure smooth submission process with high quality editorial and peer review processes that are eventually followed by publishing dissemination to wide audience. We ensured that our journal meets the requirements for indexing in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Directory of Open Access Journals. Moreover, each accepted article will be published in different formats and safely archived in certified archiving systems that will ensure permanent storage of your valuable content. In addition, for potential junior researchers, from medical students and PhD students to established clinicians with little research experience, we established dedicated platform under the umbrella of High Yield Medicine to continuously provide teaching content and facilitating tools, enabling such groups of researchers to develop their ideas into high quality publishable projects.

For our peer reviewers, whom their work will be relayed on to improve the final content, we established a system to incentivize their work. First, high quality peer reviews, that can be generalized to other articles so that other researchers can take benefit from, will be invited to be published as stand-alone articles. Second, our peer reviewers can ask for a certificate to document their work with us. Finally, our peer reviewers will be given publishing priority when they consider submitting their work to HYMR.

We hope to promote the quality of medical knowledge and contribute to the development of medical fields through our high yield medical reviews. High yield in terms of its contribution to physicians through its results, and to researchers through its methods.
