About launching of the journal of case reports in practice (JCRP)

A pearl is precious even be sole!Over time, the importance of reporting case reports is gaining prominence. It is critical to emphasize that most clinical trials are made on the basis of data obtained from individual cases. Due to lower level of evidence attributable to case studies and less prestigious academic rank for case reports, many exotic and unique cases get being sacrificed and just lodged in individual minds. However, case studies are important tools in medical education and clinical care [1]. This is true especially for rare cases where case-control or randomized controlled trials are absent.Case reports are bricks of science building. No building is separate from its structural units. We believe that these structural moieties of medicine are pearls. We are providing a scientific platform to publish and archive these precious pearls!Each case could be a big teacher not only for the authors but also for any practicing doctors, residents or students [2]. Many students and residents who are beginners start with writing case reports. Some studies showed that junior practitioners are less likely to publish their single cases; however, tendency toward reporting cases is more frequent in specialized disciplines [3].Intelligent physicians and academics are constantly looking and searching their environment to find new facts. Despite a huge body of our knowledge, this is rather nothing in respect to “big holes” within it. “Scientific thinking” and “academic writing” is prerequisite for an academic practice. Many products of medical schools (as “mass production machines”!) are practitioners who are rather “good followers” however only small number of “physicians” or “Hakims” (in Persian and Arab language) think differently, try to find new ways, write more and do something and are blinking stars of the science sky. They work on “cutting edges”. Mimicking and pacing on the paced path of pioneers is not actually an academic fashion per se.Unfortunately most of universities in underdeveloped countries train students to adhere to medical text books [4]. On the other hand residents from developed countries prefer to use Internet and short case review books instead of traditional textbooks [5]. All above is accepted for undergraduate students and residents. Responsibility and duties of academic staff, however, is much heavier than the trainees. All academic staffs should have some role in creation of new products. Report of rare or single case is not the whole work but deep studying and challenging a case could be considered a minimum research and academic work.It seems that critical thinking and academic writing is a kind of creation. Creation is masterpiece of the Lord! Now human being could be vicar of Lord! And we appreciate this new job!Journal of Case Reports in Practice (JCRP) is going to be an instantly updating open- access journal, publishing high-quality, peer reviewed not only case reports but also case series, clinical images, clinical audios, clinical videos and most importantly unique scientific ideas and counter-current opinions. We publish articles from all areas of clinical, radiological and pathological disciplines.In recent years, many scientific journals and media emerged. Most of them are sponsored by giants. We started and are pacing on a long path with our strong motivation, hard work and powerful academic and technical friends.Our international team consists of skilled and scientific multinational scientists with distinguished academic background who has been selected from the best investigators from several universities. Most of our honorial editorial members have been qualified members of other international journals for years and perform their duties as professional authors, reviewers or editorial team.In recent years, many classic paper journals do not accept case reports for publication mostly due to limited page-space in the print version of the journals. This gap of publishing opportunities for authors was the major reason to start new journal specific for case reports.In journal editorial office, after receiving a manuscript, at the outset it will be screened by editor-in-chief for its relevancy and being within the scope of the journal. Then several steps of reviewing and corrections get done preparing it for final proof reading and English editing. Any galley proof will be submitted to the corresponding author for final approval by all authors. Now it is the time that a manuscript will be shown on the journal website. Corresponding authors are most responsible for any duplicate publication or any legal conflicts of published article.We guarantee a “fast track” service with regular updating and publications to encourage young and pioneer investigators to choose JCRP for their cases to report. Except for exceptional cases, we are going to make decision on manuscripts within 29 days. We welcome your nice support and joining us!
