Current, Future, & Past Issues
How We Plan Topics
Our focus on special topics for each issue attracts high quality reviews and research articles and provides a broader readership than smaller specialty journals. Since implementing this format in 2015, our readership, impact and quality have increased substantially and continue to grow. In particular, each focus topic is suggested by and voted upon by the YJBM Editorial Board. As such, the topics chosen are those that we, as graduate, medical, and professional students, find to be the most exciting and impactful.
We decide on focus topics thirteen months before the publication of the issue and accept manuscripts on the focus topic up to three months before the publication of the issue (depending on the type of submission).
Upcoming focus topics:
- June 2024: Chronic Disease
- September 2024: Integrative Medicine
- December 2024: Viruses and Autoimmunity (submission deadline: June 1st, 2024)
- March 2025: Kinase Signaling (submission deadline: September 1st, 2024)
- June 2025: Epigenetics (submission deadline: December 1st, 2024)
