Aims and Scope

The Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (JRCPE) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed publication with a circulation of over 8,500. JRCPE is indexed in MEDLINE, Embase, ESCI, DOAJ, Scopus and Google Scholar. Publication is open to all authors and not restricted to Fellows or Members of the College.

Submissions are invited in the following areas: reports of original research, case reports, investigation findings (images) of general interest, historical papers and letters to the Editor.

Manuscripts should not be submitted simultaneously to another journal, should not have been accepted for publication elsewhere and must not have been published already. All submitted manuscripts are peer reviewed and checked for plagiarism. The Editor reserves the right to make the final decision regarding publication and to make textual amendments where considered necessary.
