 The academic journal (YUJM, journal cover on the left) of YU College of Medicine was registered in ‘PubMed Central (PMC)’ on the 18th.
 
  PMC is a major academic database for medical and life science operated by the National Center for Biotechnology Information of the National Library of Medicine under the US National Institute of Health and it is used by medical and life science experts around the world.
  YUJM is the third academic journal from medical schools in Korea to be registered in PMC and as it has now become possible to search through PubMed, it has taken another step closer to becoming an international academic journal.
  PMC’s policy is open access and it offers English academic journal papers for free. Meanwhile, it is also tied into the global medical thesis search database, ‘PubMed’ and therefore, papers published through ‘YUJM’ will be more easily accessible around the world through ‘PubMed’, and it is expected that it will enhance the international thesis utilization rate.
  YUJM was founded in 1984 and it carries review articles, original articles and case reports on basic and clinical medicine fields. Original articles can be submitted at any time through the YUJM homepage (https://jujm.yu.ac.kr) contribution system.
 
  YUJM was a candidate academic journal for the National Research Foundation in 2016, which then became a registered academic journal in the National Research Foundation in 2018, and in July 2019, it was registered with the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). It has plans to develop into a Scopus or SCI-grade international academic journal in the future.
