Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) comprises a multitude of disciplines, for example, acupuncture, ayurvedic medicine, biofeedback, herbal medicine, and homeopathic medicine. While research on CAM interventions has increased and the CAM literature has proliferated since the mid-1990s, a number of our colleagues have expressed difficulties in deciding where to publish CAM articles. In response, we created a short guide to peer-reviewed MEDLINE-indexed journals that publish CAM articles. We examined numerous English-language sources to identify titles that met our criteria, whether specific to or overlapping CAM. A few of the resources in which we found the journal titles that we included are Alternative Medicine Foundation, American Holistic Nurses Association, CINAHL/Nursing Database, Journal Citation Reports database, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Research Council for Complementary Medicine. We organized the 69 selected titles for easy use by creating 2 user-friendly tables, one listing titles in alphabetical order and one listing them in topical categories. A few examples of the topical categories are Acupuncture, CAM (general), Chinese Medicine, Herbal/Plant/Phytotherapy, Neuroscience/Psychology, Nursing/Clinical Care. Our study is the first to list general CAM journals, specialty CAM journals, and overlapping mainstream journals that are peer reviewed, in English, and indexed in MEDLINE. Our goal was to assist both authors seeking publication and mainstream journal editors who receive an overabundance of publishable articles but must recommend that authors seek publication elsewhere due to space and priority issues. Publishing in journals indexed by and included in MEDLINE (or PubMed) ensures that citations to articles will be found easily.
补充和替代医学（CAM）包含众多学科，例如针灸、阿育吠陀医学、生物反馈疗法、草药医学和顺势疗法。自20世纪90年代中期以来，虽然对CAM干预措施的研究有所增加，CAM相关文献也大量涌现，但我们的一些同事在决定将CAM相关文章发表在何处时遇到了困难。作为回应，我们创建了一份简短指南，介绍同行评审的、被MEDLINE收录的发表CAM文章的期刊。我们查阅了大量英文资料，以确定符合我们标准的期刊名称，这些期刊可以是专门针对CAM的，也可以是与CAM有重叠内容的。我们找到并纳入其中期刊名称的一些资源包括替代医学基金会、美国整体护理协会、CINAHL/护理数据库、期刊引证报告数据库、MEDLINE、PubMed以及补充医学研究委员会。我们通过创建两个用户友好的表格来整理这69个选定的期刊名称，以便于使用，一个表格按字母顺序列出期刊名称，另一个表格按主题类别列出。主题类别的一些示例包括针灸、CAM（综合）、中医、草药/植物/植物疗法、神经科学/心理学、护理/临床护理。我们的研究首次列出了经同行评审、英文且被MEDLINE收录的综合CAM期刊、专业CAM期刊以及有重叠内容的主流期刊。我们的目标是帮助寻求发表文章的作者以及主流期刊编辑，这些编辑收到大量可发表的文章，但由于篇幅和优先级问题，必须建议作者在其他地方发表。在被MEDLINE（或PubMed）收录和索引的期刊上发表文章可确保文章能被轻松检索到引用。
