This licensing policy ensures both the integrity of scholarly content and its broad dissemination within the academic community. It also supports the journal’s mission to make medical research accessible to readers, educators, and practitioners worldwide.
We also note that librarians and information specialists may be actively involved in the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform that supports DMJ. Their roles may include facilitating institutional access, managing metadata, and assisting in the editorial and archiving processes.
