Latest From SAGE Open Medical Case Reports (SCO)

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports (SCO) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes case reports and case series across all areas of medicine and health sciences. Many primary research journals do not publish case reports and case series; however, we believe they are an important part of the evidence base and provide real-world clinical insights that can help physicians to improve patient outcomes. Please see the Aims and Scopes tab for further information.
