Scope
MAYERA Medical Journal welcomes original and rigorous research across medicine, public health and the health sciences. The journal has a deliberately multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary scope encompassing clinical medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, psychiatry and mental health, dermatology, community medicine and public health, epidemiology, medical education, research methodology and biostatistics, laboratory and biomedical sciences, pharmacology, diagnostic medicine, digital health and artificial intelligence, healthcare systems and policy, environmental and occupational health, nutrition and lifestyle medicine, global health, One Health, qualitative and mixed-methods research, medical ethics and humanities, and related areas of healthcare research.
MAYERA considers clinical, population-based, laboratory, methodological, educational, health-services and interdisciplinary research using appropriate quantitative, qualitative or mixed-methods approaches. The journal welcomes contributions from India and internationally and particularly encourages scientifically rigorous research from students, interns, postgraduate residents, early-career researchers and established investigators.
Manuscripts are evaluated according to their scientific relevance, methodological rigor, ethical conduct, transparency, reporting quality and potential contribution to knowledge or practice. MAYERA does not restrict publication to statistically significant or positive findings. Well-designed studies reporting null, negative, unexpected or contradictory findings may be considered on their scientific merit.
MAYERA also supports its Mentored Research model, through which emerging researchers may receive methodological and academic guidance. Mentorship, however, does not guarantee publication and does not replace independent editorial assessment or peer review.
Manuscripts that are primarily promotional, commercial, unethical, plagiarised, fabricated, falsified, duplicative, or outside the journal's medical and health-science scope will generally not be considered.
