ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The International Maritime Health Foundation (IMHF) was founded in 2018 by the Polish Society of Maritime, Tropical and Travel Medicine, the Norwegian Association for Maritime Medicine and the Norwegian Centre for Maritime and Diving Medicine. The organisation was established to create and support a sustainable base for the only international journal dedicated to the health of people working at sea - The International Maritime Health (IMH). Its goal is to act for the development of science, to increase and disseminate knowledge of maritime medicine and related fields, and to support and initiate scientific and research activities in the field of maritime medicine worldwide.
Methods:
The achievements and impact of IMHF activities over the five-year period, the analysis of citations, the structure, development and projects of the IMHF are presented.
Results:
Based on the Journal Citation Report (JCR) for the year 2022, IMH received an Impact Factor of 2.2, which represents significant progress for the journal. The JCR Journal Performance Data for the year 2022 shows that the journal is cited mostly by non-medical journals of the maritime industry, indicating its growing influence in the field.
Conclusions:
IMH has become an important source of maritime knowledge for the shipping industry. There is a need for cooperation on an individual basis between experts in maritime medicine and industry. Universities, academies, organisations, associations, societies and companies that share the aims and objectives of the IMHF are invited to such cooperation.
