How to publish in this journal

[email protected]

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Evolution of the number of published documents. All types of documents are considered, including citable and non citable documents.

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the total number of citations and journal's self-citations received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. Journal Self-citation is defined as the number of citation from a journal citing article to articles published by the same journal.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.

International Collaboration accounts for the articles that have been produced by researchers from several countries. The chart shows the ratio of a journal's documents signed by researchers from more than one country; that is including more than one country address.

Not every article in a journal is considered primary research and therefore "citable", this chart shows the ratio of a journal's articles including substantial research (research articles, conference papers and reviews) in three year windows vs. those documents other than research articles, reviews and conference papers.

Ratio of a journal's items, grouped in three years windows, that have been cited at least once vs. those not cited during the following year.

Evolution of the percentage of female authors.

Development and Progress of Balkan Medical Journal

According to Journal Citation Report by Clarivate Analytics ( 1 ), the impact factor (IF) of Balkan Medical Journal arose 1.083 in 2016, which reflects 114% increase compared to the last year. This impressive progress has also changed the place from category Q4 to Q3, made Balkan Medical Journal ranked 94th among 154 general medical journals in globe and the most prestigious one in Turkey ( Table 1 ).

This increase in IF, motivated us to make a brief analysis about the citations of the journal and its sources. We have observed that, 61% of all citations (which our journal had been referred since its integration to SCI-Expanded) appeared between January 2016 and May 2017. This analysis helped us to focus on and evaluate sources of citations.

Between January 2016 and May 3, 2017, Balkan Medical Journal had been cited 338 times by 275 journals from 32 countries ( 2 ). During this period, types of cited-articles published in the journal are shown in Figure 1 . Among these; 70% are original articles, 19% are invited reviews, 7% are letters, 3% are editorial materials and remaining 1% are the others. As a summary, 89% of cited-articles consist of original articles and invited reviews.

Another topic we wonder is the IFs of journals which Balkan Medical Journal is cited. Among 275, 229 of IFs obtained from Web of Science database which was released in 2015 ( 2 ). The average IF in 2015 of these journals is 2.0±1.8 (range: 0.09-21.3). While 34.9% of the journals in which Balkan Medical Journal is cited have an IF that varies between 1-1.9, the percentage of the journals which have an IF of ≥2 is 40,7% ( Figure 2 ).

The regional analysis of the journals in which Balkan Medical Journal is cited reveals us that our journal is predominantly cited by journals from North America (41.5%), Europe (33.5%) and Asia (12.7%) ( Figure 3 ). Besides, it is observed that the citations stem from 51 different countries; 41.1% (113/275) are from America; 5.8% (16/275) are from United Kingdom; 5.8% (16/275) are from Turkey; 5.5% (15/275) are from Netherlands; 4.4% (12/275) are from India; and 3.6 (10/275) are from Switzerland.

In other words, while journals from North America and Europe consist 75% of total journals, the percentage of journals from Balkans which cite Balkan Medical Journal is merely 2.2%. The citation-based regional analysis (338 citations) reveals us that the leading region which cites our journal is North America (128/338, 38.2%); followed by Europe (112/338, 33.1%); and Turkey (42/338, 12.4%) ( Figure 3 ).

We thought that it would be very interesting to check the origin of the first author of 338 papers. This analysis reveals us that the leading country is Turkey (92/338, 27.2%); followed by Asia (85/338, 25.1%), Europe (72/338, 21.3%), North America (46/338, 13.6%) and Balkan countries (20/338, 5.9%). In the country-based analysis of the first author, Chinese authors are ranked as the third after their Turkish and American colleagues with 35 studies (10.4%) ( Figure 3 ).

In brief, 75% of the journals that cite the Journal are from North America and Europe; and similarly, 71.3% of 338 citations are from the journals published in these continents. However, the percentage of the North American and European first authors of 338 studies remain at 34.9% ( Figure 3 ). On the other hand, Africa, Australia and New Zealand and South America are the continents where the percentage of the journals, citations, and the first authors that cite Balkan Medical Journal is below 10% ( Figure 3 ).

One may argue that being indexed in PubMed Central in 2012 contributed and will contribute to increase the international visibility and accessibility of the journal as the last two years’ IF scores show. The rapid increase in submission allowed us to choose higher quality manuscripts. Despite recent improvements, quantity and quality of manuscripts originated from Balkan countries are still inadequate. We do believe in that, a close cooperation between team members leads the way to success. Therefore, we are in need to develop a scientific cooperation with Balkan countries. To realize this, Balkan Medical Journal aimed to constitute an efficient platform for sharing of scientific knowledge among Balkan countries.

So, factors like being cited by authors from 51 countries with higher IF journals (even IF=21) are our fuel and source of motivation. Balkan Medical Journal has now completed 38 years of publication and is well recognized by international health community. We would like to thank and express our gratitude to all members of the Editorial Board, authors, reviewers, and publisher for their contribution and tremendous support.

Cover letters

A good cover letter can help to “sell” your manuscript to the journal editor. As well as introducing your work to the editor you can also take this opportunity to explain why the manuscript will be of interest to a journal's readers, something which is always as the forefront editors’ mind. As such it is worth spending time writing a coherent and persuasive cover letter.

The following is an example of a poor cover letter:

Instead, check to see whether the journal’s Instructions for Authors have any cover letter requirements (e.g. disclosures, statements, potential reviewers). Then, write a letter that explains why the editor would want to publish your manuscript. The following structure covers all the necessary points that need to be included.

• If known, address the editor who will be assessing your manuscript by their name. Include the date of submission and the journal you are submitting to.
• First paragraph: include the title of your manuscript and the type of manuscript it is (e.g. review, research, case study). Then briefly explain the background to your study, the question you sought out to answer and why.
• Second paragraph: you should concisely explain what was done, the main findings and why they are significant.
• Third paragraph: here you should indicate why the readers of the journal would be interested in the work. Take your cues from the journal’s aims and scope. For example if the journal requires that all work published has broad implications explain how your study fulfils this. It is also a good idea to include a sentence on the importance of the results to the field.
• To conclude state the corresponding author and any journal specific requirements that need to be complied with (e.g. ethical standards).

TIP: All cover letters should contain these sentences:

• We confirm that this manuscript has not been published elsewhere and is not under consideration by another journal.
• All authors have approved the manuscript and agree with its submission to [insert the name of the target journal].

According to the 2020 Journal Citation Report by Clarivate Analytics, the impact factor of Balkan Medical Journal arose by 1.53 in 2019, which reflects 27% increase compared to last year. It has become one of the most prestigious journals in the Balkans and Turkey because of this new score. Based on this development, I would like to talk about what has been done in the last 4 years on behalf of the editorial team.

After taking over as editor-in-chief in autumn 2016, for the first time in the history of the journal, an editorial independence agreement was signed between the editor and the owner of the journal. However, in the early days of this new appointment, the editorial team faced a publisher change. The publishing house change which is one of the most difficult processes and changes of a journal was successfully realized with the support of the Dean and the intensive work of the editorial board. From 2017, we decided to continue with the Galenos publishing house. In November 2016, the news that the journal was accepted to be indexed in the PubMed/MedLine increased our motivation. Therefore, as stated in the history of the journal ( 1 ), the first four months of our editorial task were very challenging.

Another innovation in the year 2017 was the journal cover. Founded in 1488, Sultan Bayezid II complex of Edirne is the first example of a centrally planned medical center and considered the pioneer of modern hospitals thus, the roots of medical education in the city date back to the founding day of the school. The third issue therefore was the change to a new journal cover, designed to symbolize the silhouette and historical heritage of the Bayezid II Hospital ( 2 ).

In the last quarter of 2017, we signed one of the most challenging changes. After working hard with our publisher, we created a new and improved website that would better serve readers, reviewers, and authors ( 3 ). This dynamic website would contribute to the visibility and recognition of the journal. Another innovation in that same year was the articles and content of the magazine became visible on the social media.

In the third quarter of 2018, the editorial team of the Balkan Medical Journal was pleased to announce the new policy (gender and gender reporting) of the Balkan Medical Journal ( 4 ). We have chosen to be a part of global efforts to report and evaluate gender and gender differences in scientific research. With this policy, we started to encourage authors to use the terms gender (to report biological factors) and gender (to report identity, psychosocial or cultural factors) correctly.

One of the most challenging changes in 2018 was the switch to the online submission system. In the second half of 2018, as a result of the depreciation of the Turkish lira, we had to reduce the cost of the journal. After a long-term search by the editorial team and the publisher, we decided that the Manuscript Manager peer review system would meet all our needs ( 5 ). With this decision, starting from the last week of November 2018, we were able to use the new system. We have successfully overcome this transition period.

Another job waiting to be done for us was the journal’s legal regulation. The editorial independence agreement between the owner of the journal and the editor alone did not guarantee the institutional independence of the journal therefore, a legal regulation was needed. We thought that the implementation of the journal legal regulation would guarantee the independent and responsible management of the journal, protect the freedom of publication, and ensure the transparency of the team at work. In addition, the effort to maintain the editorial freedom had posed distinct challenges arising from regional dynamics in the Balkan region. After working closely with the Dean’s Office and rectorate’s legal commission, the Balkan Medical Journal Legal Regulation came into force in January 2019 ( 6 ).

As a member of IJMCE, in January 2019, Balkan Medical Journal declared compliance with the ICMJE data sharing statement ( 7 ). As a journal of this geography, it should not be a surprise to say that we have difficulties in implementing this policy. It is obvious that we need more time in this regard. One of the most important factors in the implementation of this policy is the willingness of the authors and institutions to share their data.

In the second quarter of 2020, the whole world was shocked by the new coronavirus pandemic. The COVID-19 outbreak pressured journals and authors to quickly publish many academic articles about the new coronavirus. This edition led to some editorial practices that ignore ethical principles. During this period, we witnessed many qualified journals withdrawing or retracting COVID-19 articles. This period has shown how important the competence of editorial board members is ( 8 ). In addition, this pandemic process has become a real opportunity for predatory journals (9). As the editorial board, I think we did a good job in this period. In all the original articles on COVID-19 that were not rejected by the Editor-in-Chief but sent to the relevant editor, they were either rejected or withdrawn after the peer review or detailed and rigorous evaluation. In the accepted articles (Invited review, case report and letter to the editor), there were extensive revisions of the relevant editor and/or editor-in-chief.

Table 1 summarizes our struggle in the past 4 years. The upward trend in the journal's impact factor stemmed from the rigorous selection of articles, good communication with readers and authors, the application of ethical standards, and the devoted work of the editorial board and the publisher. We believe that the key to being a second quarter journal is the continuity of these policies.
