Die Zeitschrift "Complementary Medicine Research"

Die Zeitschrift „Complementary Medicine Research CMR (bis 2016 Forschende Komplementärmedizin“ ist das Organ der Gesellschaft und publiziert seit 1994. Der aktuelle Impact Factor beträgt 1.1. Ihre Zielsetzung ist es, ein Forum für Wissenschaftler und Praktiker in der oft kontroversen Diskussion um schulmedizinische und komplementäre Methoden zu bieten. Führende Experten der Komplementärmedizin aus dem In- und Ausland engagieren sich im Editorial Board und garantieren die wissenschaftliche Basis. Manuskripte werden nur nach einem strengen Peer-Review-Verfahren angenommen, was den hohen Standard wissenschaftlicher Qualität gewährleistet.

Die CMR präsentiert sich auf FACEBOOK:
