Journal Title：American Family Physician

American Family Physician is a semimonthly, editorially independent, peer-reviewed journal of the American Academy of Family Physicians. AFP’s chief objective is to provide high-quality continuing medical education for more than 190,000 family physicians and other primary care clinicians. The editors prefer original articles from experienced clinicians who write succinct, evidence-based, authoritative clinical reviews that will assist family physicians in patient care. AFP considers only manuscripts that are original, have not been published previously, and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Articles that demonstrate a family medicine perspective on and approach to a common clinical condition are particularly desirable.

《美國家庭醫生》是美國家庭醫生學會的半月刊，編輯獨立，同行評審。AFP 的主要目標是為超過 190,000 名家庭醫生和其他初級保健臨床醫生提供高質量的繼續醫學教育。編輯們更喜歡經驗豐富的臨床醫生撰寫的原創文章，這些文章要寫得簡潔、基于證據、權威的臨床評論，以協助家庭醫生進行患者護理。AFP 只考慮原創的、以前未發表過的、未在其他地方考慮發表的手稿。展示家庭醫學對常見臨床狀況的看法和方法的文章尤其受歡迎。

American Family Physician創刊于1950年，由American Academy of Family Physicians出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋醫學 - 醫學：內科全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 偏慢,4-8周 ，影響因子指數3.8，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
