Cermin Dunia Kedokteran (CDK) is a scientific medical journal focused on the development of medical science, pharmacy, and public health, oriented toward evidence-based practice, service innovation, and the integration of health policies in local, national, and global contexts.  Manuscripts are published under an open-access policy. Manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer review process; at least two reviewers will review manuscripts relevant to the topic of the manuscript. The journal is published monthly (January to December). The CDK Journal accepts research manuscripts, systematic review, meta-analyses, evidence-based case report, case report, and literature review.

Submitted manuscripts must be original (written by the authors themselves and not the result of plagiarism) and must not be simultaneously submitted to, under review by, or in the process of publication in another journal or conference. Articles that fall outside the scope of the CDK Journal will not be processed for publication. Please read and follow the author guidelines.

Currently, submissions to CDK are subject to a publication fee (IDR Rp500,000,-), payable in advance, for systematic reviews, meta-analyses, evidence-based case reports, literature reviews, and case reports; however, primary research manuscripts that are eligible for publication are exempt from the publication fee.

Articles involving foreign authors (authors from abroad or Indonesian authors affiliated with institutions abroad) will be exempt from fees, regardless of whether they are the first, second, or subsequent authors.
 

IMPORTANT NOTICE*

Effective October 5th, 2026, CDK Journal is temporarily not accepting new Literature Review submissions. We will still accept research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and case reports.

Literature Review manuscripts that have already been submitted will continue to be processed through the editorial and peer-review process.

Research reports from community health centers are very interesting to read, not only because they represent the Indonesian population, but also because they reflect a spirit of research and report writing among clinicians; the data generated will be very useful for obtaining a realistic picture of the public health situation in Indonesia, which can then serve as the basis for more relevant policy-making. Similarly, reports on asthma characteristics can help manage the disease in line with conditions in Indonesia.
Several case reports on reproductive and childbirth issues are expected to enhance practice-applicable knowledge, supplemented by a review of Down syndrome; these are likely to be useful for all colleagues. Additionally, the discussion on the Nipah virus—an endemic disease in other countries that warrants vigilance—also highlights the risk of its transmission in Indonesia.     Cover image source: chormail-Envato.
