Aims and Scope
EMJ Oncology is an open-access, peer-reviewed eJournal committed to helping elevate the quality of healthcare for cancer care globally, by informing healthcare professionals on all aspects of cancer care.
The journal is published annually, six weeks after the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, and features highlights from this congress, alongside interviews with experts in the field, reviews of abstracts presented at the congress, as well as in-depth features on congress sessions. Additionally, it covers advances within the clinical and pharmaceutical arenas by publishing sponsored content from congress symposia, which is of high educational value for healthcare professionals. This undergoes rigorous quality control checks by independent experts and the in-house editorial team.
EMJ Oncology also publishes peer-reviewed research papers, review articles, and case reports in the field. In addition, the journal welcomes the submission of features and opinion pieces intended to create a discussion around key topics in the field and broaden readers’ professional interests. EMJ Oncology is managed by a dedicated editorial team that adheres to a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, maintains high standards of copy editing, and ensures timely publication.
EMJ Oncology focuses on topics that are relevant to healthcare professionals in the field. We do not publish veterinary science papers or laboratory studies that are not linked to patient outcomes. We have a particular interest in topical studies that advance knowledge and inform of coming trends affecting clinical practice in the field.
