Iranian journal of Medical Hypotheses and Ideas (Irn J Med Hypotheses
Ideas), is an opportunity to express new Ideas and hypotheses in the realm
of medical sciences. It is impossible to register an idea or hypotheses as
an intellectual property, before it has been practically tested and
published. This pitfall may render many from expressing their ideas and halt
the future resulting ideas and innovations. It is also believed that the
pool of ideas is present at the whole society level as ³meme pool² and the
horizontal level of thinking that is present at the editing processes may
prevent the expression of these new ideas.

The main idea behind Irn J Med Hypotheses Ideas is to remove these obstacles
and provide an appropriate environment to share the huge mass of ideas of
the whole medical society without unnecessary editing.

This journal is going to publish two main categories of Hypotheses and
Ideas. Normally in the current journals, articles that are not in accordance
with the main paradigm of the medical society cannot be accepted. In Irn J
Med Hypotheses Ideas, the editorial board is not going to edit inside the
articles and change them; instead it is going to choose between the ideas
and hypotheses that have been admitted to the board. In fact, the author is
responsible of the ideas and hypotheses that have been expressed.

In the field of science each innovation starts with an idea, then the idea
will be translated to a research protocol, and upon completing that protocol
a proof of concept will be achieved. It is only in this part that an article
could be published and the rights be assigned to the author. Irn J Med
Hypotheses Ideas is going to publish not only the protocols, but also the
ideas behind them, facilitating the process of idea sharing and innovation
and also assigning some kind of right to the idea holder.
