The Journal of Men's Health is a small, open-access medical journal published in Singapore by IMR Press.[1] The Journal of Men's Health has been recognized by PubMed.gov, which lists 19 published articles from 2009 through October 2022. The recognized abbreviation of the name of this journal is J Mens Health.

The cost of publication of this free open access journal is an article processing charge paid by the author of the article. The current charge for publishing an article in the IMR Press is US$1,500.[2]

Circumcision advocacy

The Journal of Men's Health published an article advocating a pro-circumcision policy for Australia on 30 May 2022 that was written by nine authors, all of whom are members of the Circumcision Academy of Australia. The two lead authors are Brian J. Morris and Athos Katelaris. Not surprisingly, the article recommended a pro-circumcision policy for Australia. The article has a conflict-of-interest statement attached at the very end of the article. The statement discloses that Brian J. Morris is a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Men’s Health and Mohamed Hajoona is medical director of Quick Medical Pty Ltd, a company that markets circumcision devices. The article is voluminous and runs to 20 pages and 273 citations. The works of Morris and his coterie are frequently cited.[3]

Although Morris and his colleagues have advocated circumcision for decades, the Royal Australasian College of Physicians has never accepted his arguments.[4]

Special circumcision issue

The Journal of Men's Health recently announced its intent to publish a special issue to be entitled "Male Circumcision". Brian J. Morris and Athos Katelaris of the Circumcision Academy of Australia are to be the special guest editors for this issue. The announcement cites the 2012 AAP Circumcision Policy Statement which has not been reaffirmed and expired in 2017 and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention where the policies are under review by the new director.

The deadline for submission of articles is 31 March 2023, but the date of publication has not been announced. The Article Processing Fee for any article accepted for publication will be US$1,500.[5]
