The new online-only, peer-reviewed journal will publish case reports relevant to clinicians serving a wide range of medical specialties
PHILADELPHIA, Thursday, April 15, 2021 — The ý (ACP), publisher of Annals of Internal Medicine (Annals), one of the most influential peer-reviewed clinical journals in the world, and the American Heart Association (AHA) today announce a new partnership to jointly publish . The digital, open access, peer-reviewed journal will publish case reports relevant to clinicians across the spectrum of medicine.
“Clinicians say that they often learn valuable lessons by discussing clinical experiences and observations with their colleagues,” said Darilyn V. Moyer, MD, executive vice president and chief executive officer of ACP. ”AIMCC will provide a dedicated forum for clinicians to detail how they diagnose, treat, and manage some of their most challenging cases, ensuring their experiences and observations are shared broadly with other clinicians, thereby helping contribute to medical progress.”
”We are very pleased to partner with ACP and Annals to release a high-quality, clinical case journal that will give professionals a virtual bedside view of curious cases and clinical conundrums,” said N.A. Mark A. Estes, MD, volunteer chair of the AHA’s Scientific Publishing Committee. “These are the real thought-provoking cases that tend to spark discussion and aid clinical decision-making, with clear implications for innovation and improved care, resulting in longer, healthier lives.”
Ѱ’s editorial team will be dedicated to upholding efficient and careful peer-review and publishing practices that authors and readers have come to expect from Annals and the scholarly journals of the AHA. Initially, issues will be published bi-monthly online and publishing is expected to become more frequent over time.
