期刊名称：ACUPUNCTURE IN MEDICINE ISSN： 0964-5284 出版频率： Bi-monthly 出版社： SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 1 OLIVERS YARD, 55 CITY ROAD, LONDON, ENGLAND, EC1Y 1SP   出版社网址： http://aim.bmj.com/ 期刊网址： http://aim.bmj.com/ 影响因子： 2.267 主题范畴： INTEGRATIVE & COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINE 期刊简介(About the journal)    投稿须知(Instructions to Authors)    编辑部信息(Editorial Board)    About the journal Acupuncture in Medicine aims to promote the scientific understanding of acupuncture and related treatments by publishing scientific investigations of their effectiveness and modes of action as well as articles on their use in health services and clinical practice.   Acupuncture in Medicine is aimed at Western-trained physicians and other health professionals. The Western understanding of neurophysiology and anatomy is used to interpret the effects of acupuncture. The Journal uses the term 'Western medical acupuncture' and largely restricts its published articles to this Western approach. Evidence-based articles on traditional acupuncture (both clinical and theoretical) will, however, be considered. The editorial board welcomes scientific reports, systematic and general reviews, audits, case reports, descriptive and educational papers and other articles that may be of interest to readers. Instructions to Authors Editorial policy The journal's policy is to use current knowledge of neurophysiology, anatomy and pathology to explain the clinical effects of acupuncture, i.e Western medical acupuncture. Traditional Asian concepts may be reported where they have been used to choose points, or where the concepts are themselves the subject of the research, but discussion of clinical effects simply in terms of traditional explanations is unlikely to be acceptable. *We ask the corresponding author to grant exclusive licence (or non exclusive for government employees) on behalf of all authors by reading our licence and inserting in the manuscript on submission the following statement: "The Corresponding Author has the right to grant on behalf of all authors and does grant on behalf of all authors, an exclusive licence (or non-exclusive for government employees) on a worldwide basis to the BMJ Publishing Group Ltd, and its Licensees to permit this article (if accepted) to be published in Acupuncture in Medicine and any other BMJPGL products and to exploit all subsidiary rights, as set out in our licence." Describing acupuncture treatment All acupuncture treatment should be described according to the current STRICTA recommendations on our website. Their basic principle is to ensure that the treatment can be replicated exactly by others. The criteria should be referenced as: Revised STandards for Reporting Interventions in Clinical Trials of Acupuncture (STRICTA): extending the CONSORT statement. MacPherson H, Altman DG, Hammerschlag R, et al. Acupunct Med 2010;28:83-93 The following abbreviations for meridians should be used: LU, LI, ST, SP, HT, SI, BL, KI, PC, TE, GB, LR, GV, CV. Use Chinese names to describe extra points. This Code was agreed a meeting of the WHO in 1989, reported in Jenkins M. A new standard international acupuncture nomenclature. Acupunct Med 1990;7(1):21-3. All Chinese technical terms should be in italics, for example de qi, Yin, Yang, Taiyang. Proper nouns should have capital letters, for example Wind-Damp, and Spleen meridian (though spleen when referring to the organ).

Word count: up to 500 words. Trial registration Clinical trials are defined for this purpose as trials "where human participants are prospectively assigned to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects on health outcomes". The patient is not free to choose their treatment, but is allocated to it. Acupuncture in Medicine fully supports the policy on trial registration of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) in ICMJE uniform requirements, and at some time in the future will only consider reports of clinical trials if they were registered prospectively before patient recruitment. In the interim period, AiM will also consider reports of clinical trials that have been registered retrospectively, in an accepted primary registry, before they are submitted to AiM. The registries that are acceptable are listed by ICMJE at: ICMJE and on the WHO website). Any primary registry listed on those sites is acceptable to AiM, for example . Supplements The BMJ Publishing Group journals are willing to consider publishing supplements to regular issues. Supplement proposals may be made at the request of: The journal editor, an editorial board member or a learned society may wish to organise a meeting, sponsorship may be sought and the proceedings published as a supplement. The journal editor, editorial board member or learned society may wish to commission a supplement on a particular theme or topic. Again, sponsorship may be sought. The BMJPG itself may have proposals for supplements where sponsorship may be necessary. A sponsoring organisation, often a pharmaceutical company or a charitable foundation, that wishes to arrange a meeting, the proceedings of which will be published as a supplement. In all cases, it is vital that the journal's integrity, independence and academic reputation is not compromised in any way.
