Medscape Journal of Medicine
MedGenMed: Medscape General Medicine was the original open-access peer-reviewed general medical journal, exclusively electronic and available on Medscape, the premier online publication for medicine and healthcare. MedGenMed was founded in 1999, and has been indexed in MEDLINE since 2000. It was positioned in the same conceptual field as other international general medical journals whose editors are members of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), also known as the Vancouver Group. This group, founded in 1978, sets the rules for medical journal authors and editors. MedGenMed followed these basic rules, which comprise the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals.
