This is the third volume of the journal of Research on History of Medicine. Started in 2011, the journal is a quarterly, peer-reviewed, trilingual journal on the history of Medicine in the Middle East. At first, publishing such a journal appeared difficult, but with the support of national and international researchers we succeeded in publishing 9 issues consecutively until now. Here, we wish to extend our sincere gratitude to the researchers, authors and reviewers helping us to accomplish this. The journal has so far received indexing from more than 10 international indexing and abstracting databases, leading to its more visibility worldwide.
