《針灸醫(yī)學(xué)》是一份國際性的同行評議期刊，旨在通過發(fā)表有關(guān)針灸的有效性和作用模式的科學(xué)調(diào)查，以及關(guān)于針灸在醫(yī)療服務(wù)和臨床實踐中的應(yīng)用的文章，促進對針灸和相關(guān)治療的科學(xué)理解。該雜志使用了“西醫(yī)針灸”一詞，并在很大程度上將其發(fā)表的文章局限于這種西方方法。然而，基于證據(jù)的傳統(tǒng)針灸文章(臨床和理論)將被考慮。編輯委員會歡迎科學(xué)報告、系統(tǒng)和一般性審查、審計、個案報告、描述性和教育性論文以及讀者可能感興趣的其他文章。

Acupuncture in Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed journal that 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. 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.
