Information about previous publication
Manuscripts are considered on the understanding that they have not been published or are not under consideration for publication by another journal. However, publication of the abstract of the paper elsewhere does not disqualify the paper from consideration. When there is doubt about possible duplicative publication, authors should attach a copy of the published paper to the manuscript on submission.
WAJM (ISSN 0189-160X) is published by the West African College of Physicians and the West African College of Surgeons. The Journal accepts articles in English and French. WAJM is indexed/abstracted in EMBASE, Excerpta Medica, Medline/Index Medicus, African Journals on Line and African Index Medicus.
