During the Year 2013 Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences achieved yet another landmark when it managed to be covered by PubMed Central with the result that now all the manuscripts published in the journal effective January 2013 are now accessible through this important global database i.e. PubMed Central. It will ensure that the contributions by the authors have increased visibility and readership thereby improving the chances of citation as well. We had been planning for this for the last three years but financial constraints had been the major hindrance. However, now we have made arrangements with one of the commercial concerns overseas who prepares the XML files for submission to PubMed Central which is a pre requisite. We believe this investment is worth and will further improve the standard of the journal and its ranking in biomedical journals. In order to facilitate the authors in early publication of their accepted manuscripts reducing the waiting time, we also increased the frequency of publication from quarterly to bimonthly during 2013 while efforts are also being made to accelerate the Peer Review process and reduce the time but sometimes it is beyond our control since the Reviewers are all busy people and they perform these academic duties in honorary capacity, hence one cannot force them to convey their comments immediately, though many Reviewers are quite efficient and try to complete the review process meeting the deadlines. Earlier after an agreement with CrossRef we had started giving Digital Object Identifier (DOI) numbers to all the manuscripts. In order to protect the authors and ourselves from publication of plagiarized material, we also entered into an agreement with CrossCheck to use their software iThenticate for screening of manuscripts for plagiarism. This software though a bit expensive but has the advantage over other tools used for screening for plagiarism because this not only covers what is freely available on the internet but it also has access to journal publications that are not accessible free online. 1 During the last six months, after triage, only one hundred fifty manuscripts which are about 20% of all the submissions were accepted for further processing. Twelve were rejected because during screening similarity index score was more than 20% and in some cases it was as high as 40-60%. While screening for plagiarism, we remove the title as well as references from the manuscript. Three manuscripts which had similarity index score between …
