Abstract
The Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences (MJMS) has conducted a simple analysis of its
scholarly publication, based on the auto-generated data compiled from ScholarOne Manuscripts™,
an innovative, web-based, submission and peer-review workflow solution for scholarly publishers.
The performance of the MJMS from 2014–2015 is reported on in this editorial, with a focus on the
pattern of manuscript submission, geographical contributors and the acceptance-rejection rate. The
total number of manuscript submissions has increased from 264 in 2014, to 272 in 2015. Malaysians
are the main contributors to the MJMS. The total number of manuscript rejections following the
review process was 79 (29.9%) in 2014, increasing to 92 (33.8%) the following year, in accordance
with the exacting quality control criteria applied by the journal’s editor to the submitted manuscripts.
