ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES IN HEALTH AND MEDICINE

Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine (ISSN 1078-6791) is a peer-reviewed, bimonthly journal published by Innovision Communications in the United States, dedicated to advancing the field of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The publication serves as a platform for disseminating research across a broad spectrum of integrative health disciplines, including natural therapies, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and mind-body practices, with a focus on clinical applications, case reports, and theoretical frameworks. While the journal is not open access and is not indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), it maintains a recognized standing within the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal ranking system, where it is classified in the fourth quartile of the broad medical category. Although its impact factor is relatively modest and it does not enjoy the widespread indexing of top-tier mainstream databases, it provides a viable outlet for scholars and practitioners in the CAM sector seeking to share findings on holistic and non-conventional treatment modalities. Prospective authors are advised to consider its specific niche and moderate academic influence when evaluating its suitability for their research contributions.
