Aims and Scope
Clinical Medicine Reviews in Patient Care is an international, peer reviewed journal that focuses primarily on the role of therapeutics in patient care. The journal specializes in focused reviews of individual drug therapies, combination therapies and classes of drugs. The journal also considers papers addressing the prevention, diagnosis and management of disorders associated with this area.
This Clinical Medicine Reviews journal offers efficient publishing, high editorial quality and no article processing fees or other fees for authors. It is not an open access journal. Authors will be asked to assign copyright in their article to the publisher, and will not be permitted to distribute or archive the published version of the paper without the publisher’s consent for a period of twelve months after the date of publication. This does not affect authors' right to deposit the accepted version of the manuscript in a pre-print archive. To avoid possible misunderstandings authors are asked to confirm their understanding of this following manuscript submission.
Standard Author Services
The journal distinguishes itself from others in the field by combining individualized author service with editorial integrity and procedural efficiency. At every stage authors will be introduced to the staff member responsible for their paper and will receive procedural explanations and regular status updates. The progress of authors’ papers is continually monitored by staff, and a staff member is always available to answer authors' questions. This is reflected in our consistently positive author testimonials.

Manuscript Types and Preparation Guidelines
Information on manuscript types accepted for peer review and guidelines for manuscript preparation are available here. A manuscript template, sample manuscript, and pre-submission check list are available here.
Editorial Policies
All articles are subject to blind independent peer review by reviewers drawn from the journal's editorial board, volunteer peer reviewer pool, and where necessary from Pubmed. Pubmed is used where specialized expertise is unavailable from the other sources. Two to four peer reviewers will be used. Editorial decisions are made by independent editors in chief or associate editors. The editorial process from peer review to first editorial decision takes three to four weeks following acceptance of each paper for peer review.
We maintain a strict distinction between editorial decisions, made by editors in chief or associate editors, and business decisions. Libertas does not make nor attempt to influence editorial decisions. Editorial decision makers receive no incentives to make decisions leading to fee payments.
The journal is committed to high standards of integrity. Authors are required to confirm their compliance with ethical and legal requirements upon submission. Prior to publication all authors must provide signed confirmation of compliance. Where concerns arise the journal will apply the Committee on Publication Ethics guidelines on ethical matters.
Frequency of Publication
Articles are published upon completion of production.

Additional Information for Authors

The reviews were scientifically deep and objective, which is very valuable because in many journals decisions to publish or not to publish are very unfair and subjective.I highly recommend that other researchers publish their papers in Genomics ...
