Aims & Scope
Libyan Journal of Medicine (LJM) is a peer-reviewed, Open Access, international medical journal aiming to promote heath and health education by publishing high-quality medical research in the different disciplines of medicine. LJM was founded in 2006 by a group of enthusiastic Libyan medical scientists who looked at the contribution of Libyan publications to the international medical literature and saw that a publication outlet was missing. To fill this gap they launched LJM as a tool for transferring current medical knowledge to and from colleagues in developing countries, particularly African countries, as well as internationally.The journal is still led by a group of Libyan physicians inside and outside Libya, but it also enjoys support and recognition from the international medical community.
