In March 2016, the Libyan International Medical University (LIMU) published its electronic
scientific journal entitled “Libyan International Medical University Journal” (LIMUJ) with the aim of encouraging scientific research in Libya and addressing
local issues with an international vision.[1] Starting with January 2018, LIMUJ was published by Medknow and Wolters Kluwer, to
increase the scope of LIMUJ and spread it globally. Since then, we have published
84 full articles of different disciplines of the medical sciences from different parts
of the world.
Starting from January 2022, LIMUJ will be published by the international Thieme Publishing
Group to provide the best services possible to our readers and authors. This step
was sought by LIMUJ editorial team as a necessary move to take LIMUJ to the next level
aiming at PubMed and Medline indexing. We have expanded our international advisory
board to include prominent figures in our scientific research. We will have a special
section for young scientists with less vigorous reviewing to encourage and stimulate
our young researchers to enhance their ability to write scientifically and support
their conceptions and contributions to the dissemination of knowledge. Moreover, we
will have an Arabic abstract for all articles published in English language to consolidate
the role of the Arabic language in learning and creativity. We are still operating
on open access mode with no subscription or processing fees at least for the year
2022.
Being here after six difficult years globally, and that too in a very competitive
field, instills us with a driving force for the betterment of our country and the
world at large. We hope to receive your contribution shortly and eagerly.
