Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences’ Performance Status in 2017 and the Challenges
Nour Azimah, Zulkapli & Abdullah, Jafri Malin
Abstract
This report presents a review of the Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences’ (MJMS)
performance status throughout 2017, which covers the submission pattern of original manuscripts
by month, the geographical distribution of submitting authors, the types of manuscripts and
overall acceptance/rejection rates.
As the years progress, MJMS continues to receive an escalating number of manuscript
submissions. This contributes to an ever-increasing workload, which makes administrative tasks
continually more challenging. Although the manuscript submission platform seeks to minimise
the pre-publication workload of the journal administrator, it is still a time-consuming task,
particularly when authors seek exclusive attention for their submitted manuscripts.
