Diurnal variation asthma why

I hope my collaboration with JCDR will continue for a long time". I thank JCDR for giving me an opportunity to improve my own skills as an author and a reviewer. It 's a multispecialty journal, publishing high quality articles. It gives a platform to the authors to publish their research work which can be available for everyone across the globe to read. For those who have problem in writing manuscript or do statistical work, JCDR comes for their rescue.

The journal has a monthly publication and the articles are published quite fast. In time compared to other journals. The on-line first publication is also a great advantage and facility to review one's own articles before going to print. The response to any query and permission if required, is quite fast; this is quite commendable. I have a very good experience about seeking quick permission for quoting a photograph Fig.

I never thought it would be so easy. No hassles. Reviewing articles is no less a pain staking process and requires in depth perception, knowledge about the topic for review. It requires time and concentration, yet I enjoy doing it. The JCDR website especially for the reviewers is quite user friendly.

My suggestions for improving the journal is, more strict review process, so that only high quality articles are published. I find a a good number of articles in Obst. May be a bimonthly or quarterly publication to begin with. Only selected articles should find a place in it. An yearly reward for the best article authored can also incentivize the authors. Though the process of finding the best article will be not be very easy.

I do not know how reviewing process can be improved. If an article is being reviewed by two reviewers, then opinion of one can be communicated to the other or the final opinion of the editor can be communicated to the reviewer if requested for.

My best wishes to Dr. Hemant Jain and all the editorial staff of JCDR for their untiring efforts to bring out this journal. I strongly recommend medical fraternity to publish their valuable research work in this esteemed journal, JCDR". Rajendra Kumar Ghritlaharey "I wish to thank Dr. Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium i e; into the words and sentences on paper.

Important Notice. Users Online : Simple Search Advanced Search. Abstract DOI and Others. Authors are the souls of any journal, and deserve much respect. To publish a journal manuscripts are needed from authors. Authors have a great responsibility for producing facts of their work in terms of number and results truthfully and an individual honesty is expected from authors in this regards. Reviewing a manuscript is also a very responsible and important task of any peer-reviewed journal and to be taken seriously.

It needs knowledge on the subject, sincerity, honesty and determination. Although the process of reviewing a manuscript is a time consuming task butit is expected to give one's best remarks within the time frame of the journal. Salient features of the JCDR: It is a biomedical, multidisciplinary including all medical and dental specialities , e-journal, with wide scope and extensive author support. There is fast growing authorship and readership with JCDR as this can be judged by the number of articles published in it i e; in Feb of its first issue, it contained 5 articles only, and now in its recent volume published in April , it contained 67 manuscripts.

This e-journal is fulfilling the commitments and objectives sincerely, as stated by Editor-in-chief in his preface to first edition i e; to encourage physicians through the internet, especially from the developing countries who witness a spectrum of disease and acquire a wealth of knowledge to publish their experiences to benefit the medical community in patients care.

I also feel that many of us have work of substance, newer ideas, adequate clinical materials but poor in medical writing and hesitation to submit the work and need help. JCDR provides authors help in this regards. Timely publication of journal: Publication of manuscripts and bringing out the issue in time is one of the positive aspects of JCDR and is possible with strong support team in terms of peer reviewers, proof reading, language check, computer operators, etc.

This is one of the great reasons for authors to submit their work with JCDR. This facility not only provides the prompt publications of the manuscripts but at the same time also early availability of the manuscripts for the readers.

Indexation and online availability: Indexation transforms the journal in some sense from its local ownership to the worldwide professional community and to the public. Manuscriptspublished in JCDR are available on major search engines ie; google, yahoo, msn.

In the era of fast growing newer technologies, and in computer and internet friendly environment the manuscripts preparation, submission, review, revision, etc and all can be done and checked with a click from all corer of the world, at any time. Of course there is always a scope for improvement in every field and none is perfect.

To progress, one needs to identify the areas of one's weakness and to strengthen them. It is well said that "happy beginning is half done" and it fits perfectly with JCDR. It has grown considerably and I feel it has already grown up from its infancy to adolescence, achieving the status of standard online e-journal form Indian continent since its inception in Feb This had been made possible due to the efforts and the hard work put in it.

The way the JCDR is improving with every new volume, with good quality original manuscripts, makes it a quality journal for readers. Every one of us: authors, reviewers, editors, and publisher are responsible for enhancing the stature of the journal. I wish for a great success for JCDR. Rajendra Kumar Ghritlaharey, M.

Shankar P. Hemant Jain, Editor, in March , which introduced the new electronic journal. The main features of the journal which were outlined in the e-mail were extensive author support, cash rewards, the peer review process, and other salient features of the journal. Over a span of over four years, we I and my colleagues have published around 25 articles in the journal.

In this editorial, I plan to briefly discuss my experiences of publishing with JCDR and the strengths of the journal and to finally address the areas for improvement. The best point about the journal is that it responds to queries from the author.

This may seem to be simple and not too much to ask for, but unfortunately, many journals in the subcontinent and from many developing countries do not respond or they respond with a long delay to the queries from the authors 1. The reasons could be many, including lack of optimal secretarial and other support. Another problem with many journals is the slowness of the review process.
