Call For Papers
The Annals is the official journal of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore. Established in 1972, Annals is the leading medical journal in Singapore which aims to publish novel findings from clinical research as well as medical practices that can benefit the medical community.
Published monthly online, the Annals is indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Science Citation Index Expanded, Current Contents/Clinical Medicine and SCOPUS. We are ranked in the first quartile in the competitive category of Medicine (General and Internal) (Clarivate 2023).
The rapidly ageing population and enlarging burden of chronic diseases require a proportionate emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention. A health system that is more data-driven and patient-centric, which leverages the innovative use of technology and digital solutions, will be areas warranting research attention and coverage. The Annals invites submission of manuscripts that advance the scientific basis of clinical knowledge, and the practice of medicine in Singapore and internationally. We welcome submissions that address challenges in the management of chronic diseases (e.g. cancer, cardiovascular diseases, ageing, diabetes mellitus and neurological diseases), and use of technology and digital medicine to improve patient care.
Papers of sufficient merits will be published. Authors will also be notified if their manuscripts are deemed not suitable for publication.
