When is a field of study not a field of study?

Through my experience and expertise in the field of Clinical Case Reports and Medical Case Reports, John Abraham is impelled to seek my exceptional manuscript for Mathews Journal of Case Reports. At least I assume that's what he means by inscribe for our special issue, although he doesn't go so far as to illuminate how issue 3 of volume 7 is particularly special in any way.

I suppose only an arch pedant would note that case reports are not fields of study per se, but that won't stop me this time. As I've noted before, case reports relate to single observations within a field of study or practice—usually medicine and related disciplines. They may be of interest to practioners who're active within that field, but are generally of limited wider relevance.

MJCR is indexed in a number of none-too-fussy services, including an—but not the—ISI. The link to the webcomic's website is, in fact, an Elasticmail click tracker with the same subdomain as the tracking image and the message's other links. It redirects to https://mathewsopenaccess.co/case-reports, which then gives the website address as https://www.mathewsopenaccess.com/journals/case-reports! (confused)
