Hepatitis Monthly is a monthly peer-reviewed open access medical journal published by Brieflands Publishing, formerly known as Kowsar Publishing.[1] Kowsar was included on Beall's List prior to the list's shutdown in 2017.[2] The journal was established in 2002 by Seyed-Moayed Alavian, who is the journal's editor-in-chief.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in CAB Abstracts,[3] CINAHL,[4] EBSCO databases,[5] Embase,[6] Science Citation Index Expanded,[7] and Scopus.[8] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2018 impact factor of 1.578.[9]
In August 2017, the United States National Library of Medicine, which manages the PubMed Central database, determined that the journal did not satisfy their Scientific Quality Standard, and delisted the journal.[10]
