It is notified for the information of all authors, reviewers, Editorial Board members, readers, indexing agencies, and affiliated institutions that the publication schedule of the Pakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal (PAFMJ) has been revised with immediate effect.
Effective 01 July 2026, PAFMJ shall be published monthly, comprising a total of twelve (12) regular issues per calendar year.
We wish to inform you that, in accordance with the revised publication standards of the Higher Education Commission (HEC) and the Pakistan Medical & Dental Council (PM&DC), each regular issue of the journal is restricted to a maximum of 30 published articles. Although PAFMJ has adopted a monthly publication schedule comprising twelve regular issues per year (six print and six online-only issues), the increasing number of high-quality submissions may still result in a waiting period between manuscript acceptance and publication.
If any of the authors require publication within a specific timeframe to meet academic, professional, training, promotion, or examination requirements, you may wish to consider withdrawing your manuscript and submitting it to another suitable journal to avoid any inconvenience.
