He continued: The BMAS is ambitious for its journal to grow and flourish and we're looking forward to working with the Society to develop an editorial and commercial strategy which will achieve the aims of BMAS and those of its members, while reaching out to the wider global community interested in this fascinating area of medicine.
Editor in chief Dr White said: We are delighted to be bringing acupuncture research into the mainstream of medical publishing with this link up with the BMJ Group. Acupuncture is being researched to increasingly high standards, and all healthcare professionals need to be aware of the findings so they can help their patients choose the best treatment for their condition.
Editor Dr Mike Cummings added: This is an exciting time for acupuncture research and particularly for the Western medical approach to acupuncture that is encouraged by the BMAS. More and more healthcare professionals are learning how to use acupuncture within their practice, and they stand to benefit from the journals rigorous approach to research.
The new arrangements for publishing
Acupuncture in Medicine, and the associated co-operation within the BMJ Group, will appropriately enhance the profile of this approach and the science behind it.
