Indian medical journals are largely overlooked internationally. Despite significant publication output, few Indian journals meet international standards, leading to most research going unnoticed globally.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Publishing
  • Bibliometrics
  • Scientific Communication

Background:

  • Indian doctors contribute substantially to global medical literature, producing half of all publications from developing nations.
  • However, the quality and international visibility of Indian medical journals remain underexplored.
  • A significant portion of Indian medical research may not reach the global scientific community.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the quality and international standing of Indian medical journals.
  • To understand author preferences for publishing medical research.
  • To evaluate the global discoverability of Indian medical publications.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review and assessment of 75 serious English-language Indian medical journals.

  • Inclusion of journals indexed in the Cumulated Index Medicus.
  • Evaluation by Indian and foreign referees.
  • Survey of Indian medical authors regarding publication choices.

    • Main Results:

    • Only 8 out of 22 Indian journals indexed in the Cumulated Index Medicus were deemed of international standard by referees.
    • Indian authors prefer foreign journals due to wider circulation, superior refereeing, and timely publication.
    • An estimated 98% of Indian medical articles are likely missed by the international medical community.

    Conclusions:

    • Indian medical journals face significant challenges in achieving international recognition and impact.
    • Author-perceived limitations in Indian journals contribute to the low visibility of Indian medical research.
    • Strategies are needed to enhance the quality and global reach of Indian medical publications.
