The International Journal of Comprehensive Health, Medicine & Dentistry (IJCHMD) invites the submission of high-quality, original manuscripts for Volume 2, Issue 2 (2026), scheduled for official publication in December 2026.

As part of the journal’s ongoing commitment to strengthening editorial quality, scientific rigor, publication consistency, and manuscript selectivity, IJCHMD is currently transitioning from a triannual publication structure to a refined biannual publication model. Following the publication of Volume 2, Issue 1 in January 2026, Volume 2, Issue 2 will serve as the concluding issue of the journal’s transitional publication year before the official implementation of the fixed June and December publication cycle beginning from Volume 3 onward.

IJCHMD is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing rigorous, ethically grounded, and clinically meaningful research across health sciences, medicine, dentistry, and allied healthcare disciplines. The journal prioritizes scholarship demonstrating originality, interdisciplinary relevance, scientific integrity, and meaningful academic or clinical impact.

This issue aims to highlight innovative, translational, and forward-looking research aligned with evolving global healthcare priorities while fostering scholarly exchange at the intersection of clinical practice, biomedical science, public health, healthcare systems, and digital innovation.

Please note that IJCHMD follows an online-first publication model. Accepted manuscripts may be published online ahead of the official issue release date upon successful completion of peer review, editorial processing, proofreading, and production workflows, while remaining formally assigned to Volume 2, Issue 2 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.
