Seven years later

Abstract

The Malta Medical Journal has been in print for seven years under the aegis of the Editorial Board. During this time the Journal has adhered to its remit of providing a forum for the publication of articles relevant to the practice of medicine in Malta. The increasing number of submissions over the years confirms the general perception that the Journal provides a medium for the dissemination of information and for continuing professional development and medical education. A rigorous peer review system ensures that submitted articles are scrutinised and are only accepted for publication on the recommendation of the reviewers. Regrettably as with any Journal, there are times when articles are deemed not suitable for publication in the Journal.
