The Marshall Journal of Medicine (MJM) is a peer-reviewed, online, open-access journal that aims to expand knowledge of rural health care for practitioners, educators, researchers, and policymakers around the globe. The journal publishes articles related to basic and translational research of relevance to clinicians and scientists practicing rural medicine in an effort to inform best practices and improve health outcomes for patients in Appalachia and other rural areas worldwide. Article types include original articles, brief reports, case reports, methodology papers, letters to the editor, and evidence-based reviews. This journal content spans a wide range of rural health-care topics, including pre-clinical and clinical studies related to primary care and medical subspecialties (e.g., oncology, dermatology, cardiology, neurology and orthopaedics) as well as studies pertaining to health-care delivery, health-care provider education, and public health issues (e.g., addiction, infectious disease, and access to care).

It is published by Digital Commons on behalf of the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. The editor-in-chief is Darshana Shah, Ph.D. (Marshall University).

The journal allows free and open access to its contents and permits authors to self-archive final accepted version of the articles on any Open Archives Initiative compliant institutional/subject-based repository. MJM is indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
