As a academician and researcher, i have great interest in publication of journal. I do strongly believe that each scientific wok should be published by author without missing time. This looks simple but very much important for quality evidence generation. Quality Evidence Generation Research is the concept developed by me with aim to improve the quality of evidence in scientific pool of research.
In this regards I did help few journal to start or help to survive.
"Healthline" is the journal of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine - Gujarat Chapter, i was founder managing editor of the journal and worked for three years. Now it is run by young enthusiastic team of association. Presently i am working as Managing Editor of Journal of Integrated Health Sciences (JIHS -http://www.jihs.in ). It is official journal of Sumandeep Vidyapeeth- a deem to be university of Gujarat.
As part of my interest and my work, i did take opportunity to attend WAME International Conference of Medical Journal Editor which was organized by Indian Association of Medical Journal Editors at NewDelhi 1-4th Oct 2015.
World Association of Medical Editors (pronounced “whammy”) established in 1995, is a nonprofit voluntary association of editors of peer-reviewed medical journals throughout the world who seek to foster international cooperation among and education of medical journal editors.Membership in WAME is free and all decision-making editors of peer-reviewed medical journals are eligible to join. Membership is also available to selected scholars in journal editorial policy and peer review. WAME has more than 1915 members representing more than 1000 journals from 92 countries.The WAME Board, at a strategy meeting held in 2013, decided that WAME will organize a conference to discuss issues related to peer-review and editing of medical journals. It further decided to hold this meeting in New Delhi, India in 2015. This meeting is the outcome of this decision and is being organized by the Indian Association of Medical Journal Editors (IAMJE).
I attanded actively the conference and presented two papers in the conference. The first poster was on "Quality Evidence Generation Research (QEGR)- a step forward for medical editors". It is mainly focusing the quality research. Second was on our journal JIHS.
Conference has many aspects of discussion. I learnt lot many things at national level and particularly international level
