The Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde was founded in 1856 when five of the nine medical journal in the Netherlands decided to join hands and launch a new medical weekly (in Dutch). About 800 manuscripts are now submitted each year, most of which are peer reviewed before acceptance. The editorial board consists of about twenty medical specialists who have agreed to carry out the bulk of the peer review for a period of three years each. After retirement from the editorial board, they are a lifelong member of the Association of the Dutch Journal of Medicine. After acceptance, articles are thoroughly scientifically and linguistically edited to ensure that the general medical readership will understand them. About 50% of the accepted papers are published within twenty weeks. In the near future the journal pages will have more illustrations and more coloured ones, educative panels, and a digest of Dutch research published in international journals.
《荷兰医学杂志》创刊于1856年，当时荷兰九份医学期刊中的五份决定携手推出一份新的医学周刊（荷兰语）。如今每年约有800篇稿件提交，其中大部分在录用前都经过同行评审。编辑委员会由约二十名医学专家组成，他们同意每人进行为期三年的大部分同行评审工作。从编辑委员会退休后，他们成为荷兰医学杂志协会的终身会员。稿件被录用后，会进行全面的科学和语言编辑，以确保普通医学读者能够理解。约50%的录用论文会在二十周内发表。在不久的将来，该杂志页面将有更多插图，包括更多彩色插图、教育板块以及在国际期刊上发表的荷兰研究摘要。
