ABOUT JOURNAL OF CME
Aims and scope
The Journal of CME (JCME) is an open access, peer-reviewed, PubMed-indexed, online-only journal publishing articles that address aspects of CME/CPD planning, design, delivery, assessment and regulation. JCME aims to serve as the principal international journal for those who provide, accredit, partake in and benefit from the practice of CME/CPD. Articles sought include original articles on the practical application of CME/CPD methods, techniques and case studies, as well as opinion pieces on CME/CPD regulatory issues in the form of editorials, commentaries and letters.
The Editor-in-Chief makes decisions on submissions based upon merit (i.e. technically sound, well-written), the potential to inform the CME/CPD community and relevance to our international audience.
