Clinical Case Reports is an open access journal publishing case reports from the full spectrum of healthcare practitioners including doctors, nurses, dentists, and vets. Unlike many other case report journals, our case reports do not have to be novel, unusual, or challenging—nor do they have to be surprising. They simply have to convey an important teaching point about a common or important clinical scenario. Scenarios which illustrate the appropriate use of a clinical guideline or systematic review are particularly important to us. Novel, unusual, and challenging cases are still important and will also form a key part of Clinical Case Reports. However, we know that most healthcare professionals spend most of their time treating common problems, and that those common clinical problems present excellent opportunities to illustrate and disseminate best practice. Consequently, compared with teaching points from rare or unusual situations, our common best practice messages have the potential to optimise the care of many more patients globally – and that is why we are excited about them. Our vision in this context is that Clinical Case Reports should improve global health and increase clinical understanding.

 

The Editor-in-Chief for Clinical Case Reports is Dr Charles Young. Dr Young is Vice President for Clinical Solutions at Wiley, was previously Editor-in-Chief at the BMJ Evidence Centre, and prior to that he was Executive Editor at The Lancet. H e continues to work as an Emergency Physician at St Thomas’ Hospital in London.

 

 

We intend to launch Clinical Case Reports in the first quarter of 2013.
