Beyond Numbers - Measuring True Impact

At Kmed Journals, impact is not defined solely by metrics, but by the ability of published research to inform medical education, clinical practice, and health policy. Our approach combines transparency with global relevance to reflect the true contribution of each article.

Citations and Discoverability

  • Every article is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for permanent referencing.
  • Publications are indexed in trusted abstracting and citation databases to maximize scholarly reach.
  • Citation analysis is conducted as part of journal evaluation, but never used as the sole measure of quality.

Indexing and Archiving

  • Journals are indexed within the KOAJ framework, with preference given to those adopting the innovative KBF format for Al-ready discoverability.
  • All articles are preserved in trusted digital archives such as CLOCKSS, Portico, and KOA.J Repository, ensuring long-term accessibility even in the event of unforeseen disruptions.
  • Strict anti-predatory safeguards are enforced, with continuous monitoring against Cabells and DOAJ flagged journals.

Partnerships and Collaborations

Kmed Journals actively seeks partnerships with universities, research institutions, libraries, and global indexing services to expand the reach of credible medical publishing. From joint editorial initiatives to digital preservation projects, we welcome collaborations that strengthen the mission of open science for healthcare.


At Kmed Joumals, we believe every question deserves an answer, every author deserves a voice, and every reader deserves access to trusted knowledge
