The International Journal of Comprehensive Health, Medicine, & Dentistry

About the Journal

The International Journal of Comprehensive Health, Medicine & Dentistry (IJCHMD) is a fully digital, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal dedicated to publishing high-quality, interdisciplinary research across the fields of health sciences, clinical medicine, dentistry, and allied healthcare disciplines. With a strong emphasis on innovation, translational research, scientific integrity, and global academic collaboration, IJCHMD serves as an international platform for advancing integrated approaches to healthcare knowledge, clinical practice, and evidence-based research.

Founded by Hala Publishing Group in Doha, Qatar, with its headquarters located in Tornado Tower, West Bay, the journal was established to bridge the traditional divide between medical and dental sciences through interdisciplinary scholarship and clinically meaningful scientific discourse. Its editorial leadership comprises a diverse and internationally recognized board of researchers, clinicians, and academic experts, while all submissions undergo a rigorous double-anonymous peer-review process to ensure methodological rigor, ethical compliance, originality, and academic excellence.

IJCHMD operates in full alignment with internationally recognized publishing and ethical standards, adhering to the principles and recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and the Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA). This commitment ensures transparency, accountability, integrity, and responsible scholarly publishing across all stages of the editorial and publication process.

With a robust peer-review framework and contributions from experts across diverse specialties, the journal is committed to publishing impactful, scientifically rigorous, and clinically relevant research that contributes meaningfully to both academic and healthcare communities worldwide. Through its interdisciplinary focus, IJCHMD aims to foster scholarly collaboration, support translational innovation, and promote research that addresses emerging global healthcare challenges.

As part of its ongoing commitment to strengthening editorial quality, publication consistency, manuscript selectivity, and long-term academic development, IJCHMD is currently transitioning from a triannual publication structure to a refined biannual publication model. Volume 2 serves as the journal’s transitional publication year, with Volume 2, Issue 1 published in January 2026 and Volume 2, Issue 2 scheduled for publication in December 2026. Beginning from Volume 3 onward, the journal will officially publish two issues annually in June and December.

IJCHMD additionally follows an online-first publication model, whereby accepted manuscripts may be published online ahead of the official issue release date following successful completion of peer review, editorial processing, proofreading, and production workflows. Articles subsequently remain formally assigned to their respective scheduled issue and volume upon final issue compilation.

Each issue is expected to include a minimum of five peer-reviewed scholarly articles, subject to editorial quality standards and successful completion of the peer-review process.

As a fully open-access publication, IJCHMD is committed to equitable knowledge dissemination by providing permanent, unrestricted, and barrier-free access to all published content. The journal welcomes original research articles, clinical investigations, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, evidence syntheses, policy analyses, educational research, and expert commentary that contribute meaningfully to evidence-based healthcare and global scientific discourse.

The inaugural volume received over 40 submissions from five continents, of which 15 manuscripts were accepted following rigorous peer review, reflecting the journal’s emerging reputation for scientific quality, editorial selectivity, and international relevance.

IJCHMD is strategically advancing toward inclusion in leading scholarly indexing and abstracting databases, including Scopus, DOAJ, PubMed Central, and Web of Science. As the journal continues to grow internationally, its core mission remains centered on scholarly rigor, editorial transparency, interdisciplinary impact, and the advancement of high-quality open-access healthcare research that contributes to shaping the future of global health and clinical innovation.
