Edorium Journals publishes case reports journals, exclusively dedicated to publishing case reports and case series. Two of these journals for case reports accept papers in multiple specialties, while six case reports journals cover specialties of dentistry, medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, oncology, pathology and surgery and their related sub-specialties.
A case report is a detailed written account of the presenting symptoms, past medical history, clinical signs, diagnostic investigations, treatment and follow-up of an individual patient. Case reports usually describe an unusual or novel occurrence related to the disease, diagnosis, treatment or follow up. Case reports almost always contain a review of literature discussing other similar or contrasting cases reported in the past.
Although case reports are considered to be low level evidence due to methodological limitations, they are an extremely invaluable source of medical evidence. Case reports lay a fundamental groundwork and are an important basis for further and more advanced research on diseases. Case reports contribute greatly to advancements in disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
The case reports are published in journals dedicated to publishing case reports or in journal which publish other articles like research articles, besides case reports. There are only a few journals of case reports and even fewer open access journals of case reports covering different specialties.
Edorium Journals believes that every case is a teaching case and even a single case can teach us a lot about disease processes and its management. To enable authors to publish case reports reporting unusual and unique cases, Edorium journals currently publishes eight case reports journals exclusively dedicated to publishing case reports and case series.
