About this journal

Aims and scope

Annals of Medicine is an online, open access, peer-reviewed international journal publishing across 33 areas of medicine. The journal promotes collaboration across therapy areas and the open sharing of research. Combined with its scope covering translational medicine to clinical practice, Annals of Medicine is the home for researchers dedicated to supporting medical professionals in advancing practice for patients worldwide.

Annals of Medicine is part of our Elevate Series. This means that you will receive a concierge-level publishing experience, including dedicated support from our expert in-house Editorial team, with guaranteed response times of within 48 hours.

The journal welcomes for consideration original research articles, review articles, clinical trials, protocols, case series and commentaries, and all articles received by the journal will be subject to peer review. The journal also welcomes the submission of negative and null results, and reproducibility studies. Letters to the Editor are also considered and should discuss an analysis of an article previously published in Annals of Medicine.

The journal welcomes submissions to the following sections:

Case reports are not accepted. Case series must review a minimum of 5 cases and will be considered where they provide novel insight on a disease or disease subtype.

When considering submission of a paper utilizing publicly available data, authors should ensure that such studies add significantly to the body of knowledge and that they are validated using the authors' own data through replication in an original sample. Consideration of studies utilizing publicly available data is at the discretion of the Editor.

Pharmacological and bioinformatics studies based solely on in silico analyses without experimental validation are not considered.

Bibliometric analyses and scoping reviews are not considered.
