We encourage submissions of original research (original articles, projects, reviews, or experience reports) consistent with the special issues' thematic scope of "international medical students" that e.g. …
- describe or evaluate initiatives, tutorials, or programs for international students,
- compare international and German students’ performances,
- focus on international students' specific loads,
- explore communicating styles and possible language barriers,
- evaluate international students' integration,
- or approach the topic from other innovative and scientific perspectives and avenues.
Please note that the following deadlines are binding to ensure the special issue’s prompt implementation:
- Articles for this special issue should be submitted no later than November 30th, 2017.
- First review round by external reviewers and editors will be completed by February 28th, 2018.
- Revisions by authors should be submitted no later than April 15th, 2018.
- Second review round by external reviewers and editors will be completed by May 31st, 2018.

Please note that manuscripts that are submitted or revised after the respective deadlines cannot be published in the special issue. They may, however, be published in one of the subsequent regular issues of GMS Journal for Medical Education.
Manuscripts can be submitted either by using MOPS (Manuscript Operating System, https://www.rheinware.org/mops/) or by sending an MS-Word file to our editorial office (kontakt@gma-dach.org). Please also check our information for authors when preparing your manuscript and clearly specify your manuscript to be submitted for the special issue on "International Medical Students", so that your contribution can be assigned accordingly.
We welcome all your qualified contributions, but please note that all manuscripts will undergo the common practise peer review process. All contributions for the special issue will be reviewed by at least two external and independent reviewers and edited by the editors. As usual, the editors in chief (Martin Fischer and Götz Fabry) will make the final decision whether a manuscript is fit for publication in the GMS Journal for Medical Education.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Daniel Huhn (Daniel.Huhn@med.uni-heidelberg.de) who will serve as the corresponding guest editor for this special issue.
We look forward to your contributions!
With best wishes
Daniel Huhn & Christoph Nikendei
