Alternative Therapies In Health And Medicine

Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.

Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.

中文简介Magazine introduction

健康和医学替代疗法于 1995 年推出，其使命是促进综合医学的艺术和科学，并肩负改善公共卫生的责任。我们努力保持最高标准的道德医学新闻，独立于及时、准确和愉快阅读的特殊兴趣。我们发表经过同行评审的原创科学文章，为医疗保健提供者提供继续教育，以促进健康、预防疾病和治疗疾病。 Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine 是该领域第一本被美国国家医学图书馆收录的期刊。在 2006 年、2007 年和 2008 年，ATHM 在美国任何独立出版的同行评审 CAM 期刊中的影响因子排名最高——这意味着其研究文章的引用频率高于该领域的任何其他期刊。

健康和医学中的替代疗法不认可任何特定的系统或方法，而是促进对所有有效治疗方法的评估和适当使用。每期都包含多种严谨的探究方式，从案例报告到原创科学研究再到系统评价。编辑们鼓励有执照的医疗保健提供者将基于证据的新兴疗法与传统医疗实践相结合，以促进以健康、预防和治疗为重点的综合医疗保健方法。健康和医学的替代疗法希望让所有有执照的医疗保健从业者了解他们自己以外领域的发展，并促进关于影响所有医疗保健的科学、临床、历史、法律、政治和文化问题的持续辩论。

名词解释：
中科院分区也叫中科院JCR分区，基础版分为13个大类学科，然后按照各类期刊影响因子分别将每个类别分为四个区，影响因子5%为1区，6%-20%为2区，21%-50%为3区，其余为4区。

JCR分区Magazine introduction

大类学科	小类学科	分区
医学	INTEGRATIVE & COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE 全科医学与补充医学	4区

名词解释：
JCR没有设置大类，只分为176个具体学科，按当期（1年）的影响因子进行分区；JCR是按照“平均主义”思想，根据刊物IF的高至低平均划分4个区，每个区含有该领域总量25%的期刊。中科院的分区如同社会阶层的金字塔结构，1区只有5%的顶级期刊， 2~4区期刊数量也逐层增加,所以中科院的1区和2区杂志很少，杂志质量相对也高，基本都是本领域的顶级期刊。
