ACTA MEDICA OKAYAMA

Acta Medica Okayama (ISSN 0386-300X) is a bi-monthly international medical journal published by the Okayama University Medical School in Okayama City, Japan, dedicated to disseminating high-quality research across a broad spectrum of medical disciplines. The journal encompasses diverse areas of inquiry, including basic medicine, clinical practice, and public health, with a particular emphasis on multidisciplinary studies that directly impact human health. Supported by the academic rigor of Okayama University, the publication maintains a strict peer-review process to ensure the scientific integrity of its content. However, it is important to note that Acta Medica Okayama is not currently indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), and specific metrics such as the Impact Factor and Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal rankings are not publicly available or established. Consequently, while the journal offers a platform for comprehensive medical scholarship within its regional and international community, authors are advised to carefully evaluate its alignment with their specific career goals and visibility requirements, as its lack of major global indexing may limit its broader academic reach compared to highly cited international journals.
