Aims & Scope

Internal and Emergency Medicine (IEM) is a leading international, peer-reviewed impacted Q1 journal that pioneers the integration of internal medicine and emergency care to revolutionize management of diseases and patient outcomes on a global scale. As a Springer Nature and official journal of the Italian Society of Internal Medicine (SIMI), IEM aims to publish groundbreaking research, authoritative invited reviews, and compelling clinical narratives that not only advance evidence-based practice but also drive transformative change in medical science and healthcare delivery. Distinguished by an interdisciplinary approach, a sound feature of internal medicine, IEM encompasses the full spectrum of patient care from translational and clinical research elucidating disease mechanisms to the nuanced management of chronic illnesses and the urgent demands of acute and emergency medicine. With an unwavering commitment to scientific rigor and editorial excellence, our journal ensures the rapid dissemination of the most impactful discoveries, empowering clinicians, researchers, and scientists worldwide to deliver the highest standard of care when it matters most. We welcome submissions that advance understanding and treatment of acute and chronic conditions, enhance emergency response, and evaluate emerging and innovative health technologies. Our aim is to be the definitive source for clinicians and researchers seeking to improve care delivery at every stage from prevention and diagnosis to acute intervention and long-term management of complex, fragile, and multimorbid populations. Special attention is devoted to the issue of Sustainable Development Goals for their impact on global health. More specialized Topical collections are welcome, provided they engage with timely, high-impact, emerging fields, and based on the authorship of excellent international opinion leaders and writers.
