6. WEB Site of Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences MJMS is a top-tier open access medical science journal published by the Institute of Immunobiology and Human Genetics at the Faculty of Medicine in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. MJMS is an international, modern, general medical journal covering all areas in the medical sciences, from basic studies to large clinical trials and cost-effectiveness analyses. We publish mostly human studies that substantially enhance our understanding of disease epidemiology, etiology, and physiology; the development of prognostic and diagnostic technologies; trials that test the efficacy of specific interventions and those that compare different treatments; and systematic reviews. We aim to promote translation of basic research into clinical investigation, and of clinical evidence into practice.
