The Quality of Systematic Review Articles in the International Journal of Medical Reviews (IJMR)

The preferred reporting system of systematic review articles is PRISMA statement.1, 2 While reviewing the archive of the IJMR in the journal's website, and as reading the systematic review articles published in volume 3, issue 3 and 2 of 2016, I found out that there was no reference to the PRISMA statement at all.3-10 Although, several studies have reported the lack of compliance with PRISMA.11-14 It is expected that in the near future the IJMR publishes systematic review articles that follow the PRISMA checklist.
