The Journal of Chinese Integrative Medicine is
an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal.
Established in 2003 by the Shanghai Association of Integrative
Medicine (SAIM) and the Shanghai
Changhai Hospital , the Journal of Chinese
Integrative Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal on integrative
medicine, reflecting the advances and progress in all areas of integrative
medicine.
The purpose of the journal is to promote the alternative medicine being
integrated into mainstream health care. We devote to publish an international
leading journal for studies in integrative medicine, as announced by Professor
Weikang Zhao ( for additional information, see the
Editorial staff ), the Editor-in-Chief, in the foreword to the first
issue when the Journal of Chinese Integrative Medicine was founded in May, 15,
2003.
To achieve these aims, we seek to publish high-quality clinical trials,
original scientific studies and review articles focusing on different aspects
of complementary and alternative medical (CAM) practices/interventions and
natural health products, including their integration with allopathic/orthodox
medicine; our commitment to international scope ensures that research and
progress from all regions of the world should be widely covered. We are
delighted to receive articles for publication on all areas of integrative
medicine from doctors and others world-wide. Besides the original articles and
reviews, commentaries, short communications, case reports, letters to the
editor, and research on English translation of traditional Chinese medicine are
also welcome. Manuscripts can be written in English or Chinese. The acceptance
rate of the Journal of Chinese Integrative Medicine
in 2005 was 25%; its average time from submission to publication was 152 days,
but we aim to give quick decisions.( For additional information, see the
Editorial policy.)

abbreviation of the journal title is Zhong Xi Yi Jie He Xue Bao), Excerpta
Medica Database (EMBASE), Chemical Abstracts (CA), International Pharmaceutical
Abstracts (IPA), and VINITI Abstracts Journal.

Chinese Integrative Medicine is distributed worldwide.
