Introducing Salamat Academic & Research Journal

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Salamat Academic & Research Journal (SARJ), an open-access publication of Jami University dedicated to advancing medical and health sciences. SARJ, licensed by Afghanistan's Ministry of Higher Education in 2024, provides a prestigious, accessible forum for the publication of high-quality, peer-reviewed research. This journal is the latest initiative in Afghanistan's storied commitment to medical education, which began with the establishment of the Faculty of Medicine in Kabul in 1932 [1]. SARJ extends this legacy, offering Afghan and global researchers a platform for innovation in medical sciences. The establishment of SARJ also builds on the foundation of scholarly communication in Afghanistan. The Afghan Medical Journal (AMJ), initiated in 1956 by Kabul University, pioneered medical publication in Afghanistan, creating one of the nation’s first platforms for sharing scientific findings [2]. AMJ, originally published from 1956 to 1963, laid the foundation for scholarly medical publishing in Afghanistan and has recently been revitalized to continue its mission. The newly relaunched AMJ is now an official national and international open-access peer-reviewed journal. Initiatives like SARJ proudly follow in AMJ's footsteps, contributing to a robust and accessible platform for advancing medical research and public health in Afghanistan [3]. SARJ honors this tradition by fostering an inclusive academic community that makes quality medical research available to all, from students and researchers to healthcare practitioners.
