چکیده
http://jpis.org This August I had the opportunity to discuss scientific publication policy with my colleagues in the Asia Pacific region and World Health Organization (WHO) at the annual convention of the Asia Pacific Association of Medical Journal Editors (APAME) held in Bangkok, Thailand. APAME is an Asia Pacific-centered nongovernmental, nonpartisan and nonprofit organization under a mission to promote and advance journalism in medicine in the region through active interactions among scholars to achieve the greatest exchange of information possible. The WHO regional offices in charge of the Western Pacific Region Index Medicus (WPRIM) and the Index Medicus of the South East Asia Region (IMSEAR) also work very closely with the organization.
