Abstract

We are pleased to announce a new addition to the international medical information space - the Journal of Internal Medicine: Science & Art (JIMSA). This new online medical journal opened its pages to physicians and scientists around the globe to reflect the essence of their world views and professional views on diverse aspects of internal medicine practice and knowledge.

It is critically important to understand that the meaning of "health" has changed dramatically. Prophylactics and treatments have improved with the focus directed toward quality of life and survival for generations living in the era of co- and multiple morbidity "monsters." In addition, environmental impacts of ongoing pandemics, technical pollution, and disasters have a dramatic impact on the health of the population. At the forefront, internal medicine integrates advanced discoveries of biomedical scientists and physicians from the different subspecialty fields including cardiology, pulmonary, gastroenterology, rheumatology, neurology, dietary science, and other related disciplines. It is important to combine medical knowledge and find a consensus in the global understanding of health problems based on gender and age differences, while focusing on the quality of life and cognitive health of our society. Internists have the qualifications to focus on this high-quality science.

The concept of this new journal is to publish up to date discoveries in the fields of epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of different medical conditions; it will address the results of new medical research and international clinical trials. The scientific platform of JIMSA is international, as the whole of medicine is now without borders. We are inviting all internal medicine physicians and scientists working around the world to contribute to the journal.

The main direction of the publication will be original research including, but not limited to, pharmacotherapy, new diagnostics, results of clinical studies, experts' opinion and consensus, meta-analyses, registers, and innovations. We hope that among the most attractive aspects of the journal will be our invitations to leading experts in the field of internal medicine to discuss new views and opinions, the organization of virtual workshops and round tables, and the exchange of knowledge, clinical reports, reviews, and comments. Practicing physicians will have the opportunity to publish special clinical cases, participate in interdisciplinary discussions, familiarize themselves with international protocols and recommendations, and actively participate in practice-based learning.

We anticipate that JIMSA’s professional platform will open new opportunities to internal medicine specialists from different countries to learn and share their knowledge. The journal will help unite clinicians according to their goals and interests, and facilitate international partnerships that will produce patients' benefits. Please join us in the search for concurring people in the global international information space! Free yourself in time and space to find new professional contacts!

The editorial board of JIMSA is open to a new progressive and convenient form of communication with a professional audience, and international integration of knowledge and skills to the medical community for educational and professional development. That's why our motto is "Superbi progressu aspiramus ad maximum" (the proud aspire to great promise).
