About the Journal

The Journal of Medicine, Humanity and Media (JMHM)

Description

The Journal of Medicine, Humanity, and Media (JMHM) is a pioneering interdisciplinary publication that fosters the convergence of medical science, humanities, and media studies. We aim to shape and influence the discourse surrounding health, medicine, and media by providing a unique platform that encourages a dialogue between these seemingly disparate but increasingly interconnected fields.

JMHM is committed to publishing double-peer-reviewed original research, comprehensive review articles, commentaries, and thought-provoking essays that enhance our understanding of health and illness narratives, patient experiences, and the societal implications of medical technology and media. We routinely screen article submission for plagiarism.
