DISCOVERIES (ISSN 2359-7232) is an innovative online platform for publishing open access cutting-edge peer-reviewed research discoveries in medicine, biology and chemistry. Discoveries was launched in October 2013 by an enthusiastic group of researchers from Harvard Medical School (USA), University Hospital Aachen (Germany) and Cleveland Clinic (USA). It publishes a small number of impactful manuscripts: ~20 articles/year (4 issues). Find latest Discoveries news on Twitter! 

Discoveries (abbreviated: Discoveries (Craiova)) is now indexed by PubMedCentral and PubMed, successfully passing both the Scientific & Technical Reviews (August 2019) by US National Library of Medicine. Access the articles on PubMedCentral here. New accepted manuscripts will be included in PMC and PubMed within 1-4 weeks after their publication. 

Important information about the journal:

Between October 2013 and 2025, Discoveries published all articles without any publication or processing fees. For more than twelve years, this fee-free model reflected our strong commitment to accessibility, inclusivity, and the broad dissemination of scientific knowledge.

However, scholarly publishing is not without cost. Maintaining high editorial and ethical standards requires substantial and ongoing investment across many stages of the publication process, including manuscript handling, peer-review coordination, editorial oversight, copyediting, typesetting, digital infrastructure, long-term archiving, indexing, and platform maintenance. As the journal has grown in scope, visibility, and submissions, these operational demands have increased accordingly.
We are looking forward to your impactful scientific contributions!
