Abstract

The first issue of the World Journal of Experimental Medicine (WJEM), whose preparatory work was initiated on May 26, 2011, will be published on December 20, 2011. The WJEM Editorial Board has now been established and consists of 104 distinguished experts from 30 countries. Our purpose of launching the WJEM is to publish peer-reviewed, high-quality articles via an open-access online publishing model, thereby acting as a platform for communication between peers and the wider public, and maximizing the benefits to editorial board members, authors and readers.
