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 (PCHRD), CENTRAL serves as a comprehensive resource aimed at bridging Philippine health research with the broader medical community, both 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 in the Philippines and worldwide.

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 on 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 on an accessible, user-friendly platform. It aims to achieve this goal through a structured, collaborative design that ensures the highest relevance, quality, and functionality standards.

• Partnership Expansion

  We aim to expand partnerships 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.

• 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.

• 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 Philippines' health challenges and beyond.

CENTRAL provides partner journals with essential services that include:

1. Dedicated Journal Homepage: Free hosting of a journal homepage on CENTRAL featuring editorial information, contact details, and submission guidelines for easy accessibility.

2. Meta-Data Hosting and Analytics: Free access to meta-data hosting and web analytics provides valuable readership and engagement insights.

To ensure accessibility and outreach, PAMJE, together with the member journals, will actively promote CENTRAL post-launch through social media (Facebook and Instagram ) and ongoing outreach. We will engage audiences with research highlights and encourage participation. Quarterly updates and daily monitoring will ensure the platform remains current and optimal performance.

We invite Philippine medical journals, researchers, and institutions to engage with CENTRAL, thereby contributing to improved health outcomes both within the Philippines and on a global scale.
