The Eastern Heartland Journal of Medicine publishes clinical trials that have been registered in accordance with the ICMJE requirements and recommendations. Clinical trials must be registered in a public trials registry at or before the time of first patient enrollment as a condition for consideration for publication.
Clinical trials that commenced enrollment of subjects before June 2008 may be considered for publication in the Eastern Heartland Journal of Medicine only if they have been registered retrospectively with a clinical trial registry that allows unhindered online access to the public without charging any fees.
