The Journal of Oral and Molecular Translational Medicine (JOMTM): An International Peer-Reviewed Journal of Translational Medicine and Oral Sciences is a fully digital, rigorously refereed, open-access scholarly journal dedicated to publishing high-impact, interdisciplinary research at the convergence of medicine, molecular science, and oral health. Conceived as a platform for advancing translational discovery, JOMTM is committed to bridging the long-standing divide between medical and dental sciences by fostering integrated scholarship that reflects the biological unity of systemic and oral health. This mission is directly rooted in the journal’s founding editorial identity, which defines the oral cavity as a critical biological gateway linked to systemic disease, immune regulation, oncology, and molecular pathology.
Founded by Hala Publishing Group in Doha, Qatar, with its headquarters located in Tornado Tower, West Bay, the journal was established with the explicit strategic objective of meeting the standards required for international indexing from inception, including progression toward inclusion in leading bibliographic databases such as Scopus, and ultimately positioning itself within the highest impact quartiles (Q1) of its subject category in global bibliometric rankings. This ambition is supported by a robust fully double-anonymous peer-review framework, internationally representative editorial governance, and rigorous editorial standards modeled on globally respected biomedical publishing benchmarks.
JOMTM operates in full alignment with internationally recognized publishing and ethical standards, adhering to the principles and guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics, International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, Directory of Open Access Journals, and the Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association. These frameworks ensure transparency, accountability, reproducibility, and integrity across every stage of the publication process, from submission and peer review to editorial decision-making and final dissemination.
The journal is designed to serve as an indispensable scholarly resource for clinicians, biomedical researchers, oral health scientists, molecular pathologists, oncologists, immunologists, translational medicine specialists, and interdisciplinary healthcare innovators worldwide. It welcomes original research articles, clinical investigations, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, translational laboratory studies, and evidence-based interdisciplinary reports that deepen understanding across both oral and systemic disease domains.
As a fully open-access publication, JOMTM is committed to equitable global knowledge dissemination by providing immediate, permanent, and unrestricted access to all published content. All articles are made freely available online without subscription barriers, supporting the democratization of scientific knowledge and expanding access for researchers, clinicians, and institutions worldwide.
All published content is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution–NonCommercial 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC 4.0), permitting unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, reproduction, and adaptation provided the original work is appropriately cited and credited.
JOMTM follows a triannual publication model comprising three issues per volume annually, published in:
- January
- May
- September
The journal additionally supports continuous online publication, enabling accepted articles to be published online promptly following completion of peer review, editorial processing, and production workflows.
With a strong emphasis on innovation, scientific rigor, and translational relevance, JOMTM seeks to become a leading international platform for transformative scholarship that bridges bench discovery with bedside and chairside clinical application. As the journal grows, its focus remains unwavering: scholarly excellence, editorial transparency, interdisciplinary impact, and the advancement of integrated healthcare science on a global scale.
