J-AIM: Progress, policy and future plans

J-AIM is completing eight years of successful and timely publications. The journal was established in 2010 by the Foundation for Revitalization of Local Health Traditions (FRLHT) with the goal of facilitating renaissance of traditional health systems and its evidence based integration with modern sciences and medicine. Since 2016, J-AIM is being published by Elsevier and has expanded its global visibility. J-AIM was already indexed in Scopus, PubMed, EMBASE and has recently entered in Web of Science under Emerging Source Citation Index (ESCI). We expect to receive Impact Factor in near future. J-AIM is a member of COPE,WAME, IAMJE and adheres to principles of publication ethics, best editorial practices and transparency. As a result, J-AIM has become the most soughtafter journal for Ayurveda and integrative medicine community. Publishing a journal timely and maintaining its quality is a team work, which is possible because of the active voluntary support from Editorial Board (EB) members, reviewers, authors and readers. We acknowledge generous support byWorld Ayurveda Foundation (WAF) that has enabled us to offer open access for published articles.
