《針灸醫學》是一份國際性的同行評議期刊，旨在通過發表有關針灸的有效性和作用模式的科學調查，以及關于針灸在醫療服務和臨床實踐中的應用的文章，促進對針灸和相關治療的科學理解。該雜志使用了“西醫針灸”一詞，并在很大程度上將其發表的文章局限于這種西方方法。然而，基于證據的傳統針灸文章(臨床和理論)將被考慮。編輯委員會歡迎科學報告、系統和一般性審查、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.
