Journal History

“Russian Medical Inquiry” [RMZh. Meditsinskoe Obozrenie; ISSN 2587-6821 (print), ISSN 2686-9918 (online)] was established in 2013 as a multidisciplinary periodical for outpatient practitioners. The journal was issued four to six times a year. High circulation and free distribution to medical institutions and personal addresses provided physicians of all Russian regions with high-quality information to gain their trust.

Since 2016, “Russian Medical Inquiry” (along with multidisciplinary issues) began to be published as specialized issues timed to landmark medical events. As a result, issues on gastroenterology, endocrinology, rheumatology, and other disciplines emerged.

The journal gradually acquired the shape of not only practical but also scientific periodical.

In 2018, the journal was issued as 16 issues on various medical areas. This year is significant as “Russian Medical Inquiry” was included in the List of the Higher Attestation Commission for 22 specialties. 

The first two Issues of 2020 were titled “Russian Medical Review” and then the Journal acquired its present name “Russian Medical Inquiry”.

To continue the development of the scientific branch, the Editorial Board and Scientific Advisory Board which included leading academics and practitioners from various areas (including foreign ones) were established. A guest editor-in-chief (expert in the relevant field) began to supervise every issue. Editor-in-chief of the issue shapes its content and involves colleagues from various Russian institutions and cities, near and far abroad countries to familiarize Russian doctors with latest achievements and new trends in medicine, foreign experience in this area, views of different schools on the same issue, practical recommendations on patient’s management.
