# Annals of Internal Medicine (annals-of-internal-medicine)

## Journal positioning

Annals of Internal Medicine is the official journal of the American College of Physicians (ACP), one of the most influential specialty society journals in clinical medicine. It publishes original research, systematic reviews, clinical guidelines, and evidence syntheses directly relevant to adult internal medicine and its subspecialties. The journal prizes rigour, reproducibility, and clinical applicability; it has a strong tradition of methodology papers, including the development and promulgation of reporting guidelines. The readership is internists, general internists, and subspecialists in the US and internationally who require evidence at the point of clinical decision-making.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the ACP/Annals site or submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names Annals of Internal Medicine as the target venue for a clinical trial, systematic review, or guideline-supporting analysis in internal medicine or its subspecialties.
- A manuscript addresses a clinical question where evidence quality, reproducibility, or a formal evidence-synthesis methodology is central to the contribution.
- A manuscript proposes or validates a new reporting guideline, clinical prediction rule, or diagnostic-accuracy tool applicable to adult internal medicine.
- The author needs Annals' desk-reject profile and credible alternatives before submitting.
