About the Journal

The Academic Medical Journal (Acad Med J) is published by the Faculty of Medicine, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje as a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal. The journal’s regular issues were initially published twice a year for the first two years, with the frequency later increased to three times a year.

In addition to its regular publication schedule, the journal publishes supplementary issues as needed, dedicated to scientific meetings, congresses, symposia, and other academic events organized by the Faculty of Medicine, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, or in collaboration with affiliated professional societies. Supplementary issues may include conference abstracts, proceedings, invited lectures, full-text articles, and other scientific contributions. All supplementary issues are clearly designated as "Supplement."

The journal publishes original articles, review articles, case reports, commentaries, editorials, letters to the editor, clinical trials, and surgical techniques across various medical disciplines.

Articles submitted to the Academic Medical Journal are reviewed by external experts according to the highest academic standards. The review process lasts approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

Contributions included in supplementary issues are peer-reviewed by the scientific committee of the respective event.

All articles must be written in English. Authors whose native language is not English are strongly advised to have their manuscripts checked by a professional translator or language editor. In addition, all accepted manuscripts undergo a final language check by the journal's language editor before publication.

There are no manuscript processing or publication fees, meaning that publishing in Academic Medical Journal is entirely free of charge for authors.

The journal follows a Diamond Open Access model, which means that all articles are freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication.
