Aims & Scope

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports (indexed in PubMed Central) is a peer reviewed, open access journal.

It aims to provide a publication home for short case reports and case series, which often do not find a place in traditional primary research journals, but provide key insights into real medical cases that are essential for physicians, and may ultimately help to improve patient outcomes.

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance.

Papers are subject to rigorous peer review and are selected on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication.

By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, SAGE Open Medical Case Reports facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers, whether within or between disciplines.
