Access to published articles

Eight of the nine journals we publish or host are open access: the European Journal of Medical Case Reports (EJMCR), the International Journal of Medicine in Developing Countries (IJMDC), the Saudi Journal of Emergency Medicine, the Journal of Preventive and Population Health, the Journal of Biochemical and Clinical Genetics, Annals of Middle Eastern Medicine, the Pakistan Journal of Nuclear Medicine and BioMedica.

Their articles are free to read, with no subscription and no charge to the reader or their institution. Users may read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or link to the full text of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking permission from the publisher or the author. This follows the Budapest Open Access Initiative definition of open access. Each journal states the licence that applies, such as Creative Commons CC BY 4.0, on its website and on each article.

The Sudanese Journal of Paediatrics is free access. All its articles are free to read and download, with no subscription or charge, but they are not published under an open licence, so reuse beyond reading and downloading is subject to the journal's copyright terms.
