Designed to further the evidence base of the natural medicine industry, the new International Journal of Naturopathic Medicine (IntJNM) has made its debut this month.
The online multinational peer-reviewed journal was acquired by the publishers of the monthly natural medicine industry paper Naturopathic Doctor News & Review (NDNR) to develop a printed and online version that serves as a benchmark to the rest of the international medical community and to facilitate communication among physicians.
The IntJNM features original research, reviews, case reports, and editorials encompassing the natural medical field. The IntJNM also serves to publish medical research conducted at medical colleges worldwide, including the six accredited post-graduate naturopathic medical universities in the U.S. and Canada. The first printed issue was mailed to more than 5000 doctors in the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Israel and New Zealand.
The journal’s 32-member editorial board consists of the past and current presidents of the national associations, college faculty chairpersons, university research department heads and leaders in the naturopathic profession.
"The new IntJNM has been restructured to improve communication with the allied health professions,” according to David Tallman, DC, ND, publisher of NDNR and IntJNM. “The launch of the printed journal is a milestone for the evolution of natural medicine, now a multi-billion dollar industry needing peer-reviewed physician-level literature.”
