JIMGS is a journal for International Medical Graduates. Most of the articles published in JIMGS are written by doctors who graduated from Non-English speaking countries, and many of them come from developing countries where research is not prevalent. Therefore, many of the articles written by the authors in this journal may or may not have errors and mistakes. The errors and mistakes could be English grammar-related but could also have scientific flaws and calculation errors. It is possible that peer-reviewers missed the mistakes because once the article is passed by the peer-reviewers, we usually accept it for publication. Therefore, if mistakes are found in any of the articles, please report it to the journal so the authors could be given a chance to write and publish an improved version of the article. If fabricated data and scientific fraud are found, the article will be withdrawn, and the author will also be banned from publishing in JIMGS. We also emphasize that none of the articles written and published by JIMGS should be used as a sole reference to treat, diagnose, or manage patients. You should always consult other articles and not solely rely on these JIMGS articles because our articles are prone to errors. We, JIMGS, are not responsible for the content of the articles. Each author is responsible for the content of the article..
