ANNALS OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE

Annals of Emergency Medicine (ISSN 0196-0644) is a prestigious monthly journal published by Elsevier in the United States, widely recognized as a leading authority in the field of emergency medicine. As a high-impact publication indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), it consistently ranks within the top tiers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal classification, typically occupying the Q1 or Q2 zones in medical sciences, though specific rankings are subject to annual updates. The journal encompasses a broad spectrum of research, including clinical practice, basic science, public health, and policy, with a particular emphasis on innovative advancements and cutting-edge developments within emergency departments. Renowned for its rigorous peer-review process and high academic standards, Annals of Emergency Medicine publishes articles that offer significant clinical guidance and scholarly value, although its strict selection criteria result in a high rejection rate. While the journal operates under a non-open access model, which may limit unrestricted full-text availability for some readers, it remains the premier venue for researchers and clinicians dedicated to advancing the science and practice of emergency care.
