# Positive Developments for the Journal of the Best Available Evidence in Medicine (JBAEM)
The Journal of the Best Available Evidence in Medicine (JBAEM), an open-access, peer-reviewed publication by *Open Science Press in London, UK*, has achieved remarkable progress in 2025. These developments have strengthened its position as a rapidly emerging voice in the global evidence-based medicine (EBM) community. Key advancements span across indexing, publication output, and enhanced author recognition infrastructure.
# # Enhanced Visibility and Indexing
A journal’s credibility and academic reach are often reflected in its indexing credentials. In 2025, JBAEM achieved major milestones by being indexed with two highly recognized international organizations:
• *WHO Index Medicus (IMEMR):*
JBAEM has been officially included in the Index Medicus for the Eastern Mediterranean Region (IMEMR), a regional branch of the World Health Organization’s Index Medicus . This accomplishment ensures greater discoverability by healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers across the region, confirming JBAEM’s growing importance to global public health discourse.
• *Geneva Foundation for Medical Education and Research (GFMER):*
The journal has also been indexed by the Geneva Foundation for Medical Education and Research (GFMER) — a WHO-affiliated organization dedicated to promoting medical education and research in developing countries. This inclusion underscores JBAEM’s credibility and expanding international footprint.
# # Strong and Consistent Publication Schedule
Despite being relatively young, JBAEM has successfully maintained a consistent and high-quality publication rhythm throughout 2025. The release of its *Second Issue (Fall 2025)* reflects operational maturity, editorial reliability, and an effective peer-review infrastructure that supports timely dissemination of impactful research.
# # # Emerging Influence of Key Publications
JBAEM has already demonstrated an ability to produce widely read and influential articles. A notable example is the paper titled “Redefining the Hierarchy of Evidence in Medicine in the Era of the Next Generation Clinical Trials and Real World Evidence: A Critical Review and the Next Generation Hierarchy.” Within days of its publication, the article attracted *over 163 academic readers on ResearchGate* , highlighting the journal’s capacity to engage scholarly audiences and shape contemporary discussions in EBM methodology.
# # Advanced Author Recognition and Distribution Systems
JBAEM has invested in cutting-edge technologies to elevate the visibility and academic recognition of its authors. Its integrated publication workflow enables automated dissemination of research outputs across major scholarly platforms:
• *Automatic Profile Synchronization:*
Once an article is published, the system automatically updates the author’s public academic profiles on *ORCID, **ResearchGate, and **Google Scholar* . This ensures immediate indexing, transparent authorship verification, and seamless citation tracking — all vital for academic visibility and career progression.
# # Conclusion
Through rapid progress in international indexing, consistent publication performance, and technological enhancements for author recognition, JBAEM continues to establish itself as a dynamic, forward-looking platform dedicated to advancing evidence-based medicine and research transparency.
