About Us

Welcome to the Centralized Electronic Roster of Philippine Medical Journals (CENTRAL), a pioneering online platform dedicated to enhancing the reach and impact of Philippine medical research. Managed by the Philippine Association of Medical Journal Editors (PAMJE) and supported by the Philippine Council on Health Research and Development (PCHRDP, CENTRAL is a comprehensive resource aimed at bridging Philippine health research with the broader medical community locally and globally. Through CENTRAL, we strive to foster greater access, visibility, and utilization of Philippine medical journals, strengthening their role in addressing pressing health issues within the Philippines and around the world.

Our mission is to amplify the reach and accessibility of Philippine medical journals by establishing a unified online platform. CENTRAL is designed to be a trusted resource for researchers, authors, editors, and healthcare professionals seeking quality, peer-reviewed content. By gathering Philippine medical journals under one roof, we offer a streamlined access point that supports greater readership and impact for the medical research community.

The primary goal of CENTRAL is to increase the visibility, access, readership, and utilization of Philippine medical and health journals by hosting links to a diverse selection of publications on an accessible, user-friendly platform.

1. Partnership Expansion: We aim to partner with professional medical societies and training institutions that publish health journals, encouraging their inclusion on CENTRAL to create a comprehensive resource for Philippine medical literature.

2. Resource Development for Research and Quality Standards: CENTRAL aspires to be a valuable resource for researchers, authors, and journal editors by creating a shared database of peer reviewers and supporting high editorial standards for Philippine medical journals.

3. Platform Promotion and Utilization: Through targeted dissemination, we seek to introduce CENTRAL to health research creators and consumers, fostering its use in developing insights and solutions for the health challenges facing the Philippines and beyond.

CENTRAL has been designed with a structured, collaborative approach to ensure the platform meets the highest standards of relevance, quality, and functionality.

CENTRAL provides partner journals with essential services that include:

1. Free Journal Homepage on CENTRAL: Featuring editorial information, contact details, and submission guidelines, each partner journal will benefit from a dedicated, easily accessible presence.

2. Meta-Data Hosting and Analytics: CENTRAL offers free meta-data hosting and access to web analytics, providing partner journals with valuable insights on readership and engagement.

Following the creation and launch of CENTRAL, PAMJE will actively promote the platform through social media and ongoing outreach efforts. Our team will integrate social media platforms like Facebook, X and Instagram, engaging audiences with the latest research highlights and encouraging participation. Quarterly updates will ensure the platform remains current, with daily monitoring to maintain optimal performance.

CENTRAL is a transformative project that brings the Philippine medical research community together, fostering a collaborative environment where ideas can flourish, and evidence-based insights can address real-world health issues. We invite all Philippine medical journals, researchers, and institutions to explore CENTRAL, contributing to a brighter, healthier future for the Philippines and the global community.
