《家庭醫(yī)學(xué)年鑒》是一份經(jīng)過同行評審的新研究期刊，旨在支持那些產(chǎn)生和使用有關(guān)衛(wèi)生和初級衛(wèi)生保健的新知識的人的跨學(xué)科學(xué)習(xí)社區(qū)。它產(chǎn)生于日益增長的促進(jìn)基本初級保健職能和關(guān)系的知識庫的需要。這些關(guān)系包括以整合、個性化和優(yōu)先考慮衛(wèi)生保健以減輕疾病負(fù)擔(dān)的方式照顧個人、家庭和社區(qū)。家庭實(shí)踐和初級保健學(xué)科需要一個論壇來發(fā)展綜合的知識體系和以科學(xué)、實(shí)踐和不同的認(rèn)識方式為基礎(chǔ)的通才范式。年鑒的目標(biāo)就是成為這樣一個論壇。該年鑒以臨床、生物醫(yī)學(xué)、社會和衛(wèi)生服務(wù)科學(xué)的原創(chuàng)研究為特色。方法論和理論方面的貢獻(xiàn)為該領(lǐng)域未來的研究奠定了基礎(chǔ)。所選的系統(tǒng)綜述利用明確的方法來綜合已知的內(nèi)容，并超越已知的內(nèi)容——推進(jìn)理論或方法，或確定新的研究方向。來自臨床醫(yī)生、患者、家庭、社區(qū)和決策者的反思文章描述了個人對疾病、健康和全科醫(yī)療的看法。年鑒以在線互動討論小組TRACK(對年鑒知識社區(qū)的專題回應(yīng))為特色。TRACK為讀者提供了一個積極參與討論每篇已發(fā)表文章含義的機(jī)會。除了特定于文章的討論之外，開放論壇還為讀者提供了介紹其他重要主題的機(jī)制。這個開放的論壇還允許調(diào)查人員迅速公布新發(fā)現(xiàn)，并從那些可能受到工作影響的人那里收集意見。在線討論的某些方面將在《年鑒》后續(xù)期刊的定期編輯專題《On TRACK》中綜合討論。有限數(shù)量的投稿將以信件的形式發(fā)表給編輯。

The Annals of Family Medicine is a new peer-reviewed research journal that aims to support a transdisciplinary learning community of those who generate and use new knowledge about health and primary health care. It is born out of the growing need to advance the knowledge base for the fundamental primary care functions and relationships. These relationships involve caring for individuals, families, and communities in ways that integrate, personalize, and prioritize health care to reduce the burden of illness. Family practice and the primary care disciplines need a forum to develop an integrated body of knowledge and a generalist paradigm that is grounded in science, practice and different ways of knowing. The Annals aims to be such a forum. The Annals features original research from the clinical, biomedical, social and health services sciences. Contributions on methodology and theory develop the underpinning for future research that advances the field. Selected systematic reviews draw on explicit methods to synthesize what is known and to move beyond - to advance theory or methods, or to identify new research directions. Essays from reflective clinicians, patients, families, communities, and policymakers portray a personal perspective on illness, health, and generalist health care. The Annals features interactive online discussion groups called TRACK (Topical Response to the Annals Community of Knowledge). TRACK provides an opportunity for readers to actively engage in discussion of the implications of each published article. In addition to article-specific discussions, an open forum provides a mechanism for readers to introduce other important topics. This open forum also allows investigators to quickly publicize emerging findings and to gather input from those who are potentially affected by their work. Select aspects of the online discussions will be synthesized in subsequent issues of the Annals in a regular editorial feature called On TRACK. A limited number of submissions will be published as letters to the editor.
