Traditional in-person cognitive testing presents substantial barriers: severe mobility impairments make traveling to clinics difficult, expert evaluations suffer from long waitlists, and screening tools like the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) rely heavily on fine motor tasks like drawing, which can confound cognitive scores. ![Liana Ramos, Marketing Associate](https://blog.jmir.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Liana%20Ramos.jpeg?width=45&name=Liana%20Ramos.jpeg) [Liana Ramos, Marketing Associate](https://blog.jmir.org/author/liana-ramos) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/remote-cognitive-screening-in-parkinson-disease-validating-the-orca-pd-tool) ![Virtual Care in Oncology: Access Drivers and Emergency Care Patterns](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/StoryTap%20Blog%20-%20Ramya%20Walsan%20V2.png) [Research News](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/research-news) ### [Virtual Care in Oncology: Access Drivers and Emergency Care Patterns](https://blog.jmir.org/virtual-care-in-oncology-access-drivers-and-emergency-care-patterns) 29 July 2026 9:15 a.m. Virtual care expanded rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic, but understanding which cancer patients use virtual oncology services, and how it connects to unplanned emergency department (ED) visits, remains critical for equitable care. ![Liana Ramos, Marketing Associate](https://blog.jmir.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Liana%20Ramos.jpeg?width=45&name=Liana%20Ramos.jpeg) [Liana Ramos, Marketing Associate](https://blog.jmir.org/author/liana-ramos) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/virtual-care-in-oncology-access-drivers-and-emergency-care-patterns) ![HEader for blog post: Metrics as a Byproduct: Inside JMIR Publications’ Latest JCR Success featuring a photo of Dennis O'Brien](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/Dennis%20blog%20July%2027%202026.png) [Open Access,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/open-access) [JMIR News,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/jmir-news) [Research News](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/research-news) ### [Metrics as a Byproduct: Inside JMIR Publications’ Latest JCR Success](https://blog.jmir.org/metrics-as-a-byproduct-inside-jmir-publications-latest-jcr-success) 28 July 2026 9:45 a.m. Every June, the scholarly publishing ecosystem undergoes a familiar ritual. Inboxes and industry feeds flood with identical, celebratory corporate press releases as Clarivate drops the latest Journal Citation Reports (JCR). But for publishing executives navigating a market defined by massive commercial consolidation, the real value of these metrics lies beneath the surface. The true strategic question isn't "Did our scores go up?" but rather, "What do these metrics tell us about the structural shift in where researchers want to publish?" ![Dennis O'Brien, Vice President of Communications & Partnerships](https://blog.jmir.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%20(5).jpeg?width=45&name=Image%20(5).jpeg) [Dennis O'Brien, Vice President of Communications & Partnerships](https://blog.jmir.org/author/dennis-obrien-vice-president-of-communications-partnerships) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/metrics-as-a-byproduct-inside-jmir-publications-latest-jcr-success) ![Retraining the Algorithm: How Expert Eyes Correct EMR Errors in Maternal Care](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/StoryTap%20Blog%20-%20Jennifer%20Glance.png) [Research News,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/research-news) [Artificial Intelligence](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/artificial-intelligence) ### [Retraining the Algorithm: How Expert Eyes Correct EMR Errors in Maternal Care](https://blog.jmir.org/retraining-the-algorithm-how-expert-eyes-correct-emr-errors-in-maternal-care) 22 July 2026 11:41 a.m. Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a leading cause of maternal morbidity worldwide, with blood transfusion rates hovering around 2% to 2.7%.
