Description
Summary:All indexed biomedical journals are required to conform to the international standards and to follow the pattern as suggested by the guidelines for indexed medical journals1. The main language of communication for medical literature is 'English' though there are a number of indexed journals published in different languages. Our national language 'Urdu' has not progressed so far in terms of its medical literature value that we can adopt this for research communications. Moreover, the medium of medical teaching in the country is 'English' language. Hence, it is expected internationally that we can communicate as efficiently in this language as any other English speaking country in order to make our research findings more understandable and transmissible.
