Journal Identity

Aims and Objectives

LMJHCR is committed to advancing evidence-based scholarship in medical sciences, public health, and community-based research. Our primary aim is to foster innovative, ethically sound contributions that address pressing health challenges, promote equity in healthcare delivery, and enhance community well-being, with particular relevance to resource-limited settings and underrepresented populations globally. The journal also encourages early-career researchers and novice contributors by providing clear editorial guidance and constructive peer-review feedback, while maintaining rigorous scientific and ethical standards. All submissions undergo editorial screening and double-blind peer review and must meet the journal’s ethical, transparency, and reporting requirements.

The journal’s objectives are to:

• Disseminate high-quality original research, reviews, and perspectives that bridge clinical practice, epidemiological insights, and socio-cultural determinants of health.
• Support interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and community stakeholders to translate findings into actionable health interventions.
• Prioritize rigorous methodologies that contribute to sustainable health improvements and inform health policy and practice.
• Expand scholarly exchange through cross-cultural knowledge sharing and inclusive publishing practices.

Scope

LMJHCR welcomes submissions across clinical medicine, rehabilitation sciences, public and community health, epidemiology, and innovations in diagnostics and therapy. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation (e.g., stroke recovery, chronic pain management, and physical therapy interventions).
• Chronic disease epidemiology and management (e.g., diabetes, kidney disease, and metabolic disorders).
• Community health dynamics (health-seeking behaviors, cultural influences, nutrition, women’s health issues, and preventive strategies in low- and middle-income contexts).
• Emerging tools and technologies for early detection and personalized care (including AI-enabled decision support where appropriate).
• Infectious disease stewardship, antimicrobial resistance, and screening programs.
• Socio-economic and environmental determinants of health, including rural–urban disparities.

We encourage diverse methodologies—cross-sectional surveys, interventional trials, diagnostic accuracy studies, and qualitative research—provided they demonstrate real-world relevance, methodological robustness, and ethical compliance.
