Preserving knowledge, inspiring practice, shaping the future – UK Chinese Medicine journals

What role do academic journals play in shaping the future of Traditional East Asian Medicine? Why do they matter to practitioners, researchers and, ultimately, our patients? In this unique and fascinating conference panel discussion, editors from some of the profession’s leading journals share the stage together — a rare opportunity to hear these voices in conversation at the same time. Bringing together perspectives from different publications, traditions and editorial approaches, they explore the challenges and opportunities facing academic publishing today. From peer review and research quality to AI, digital publishing and the future of print, they offer an honest, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to bring trusted knowledge into the hands of practitioners. More importantly, the conversation highlights how journals do far more than publish articles. They preserve clinical wisdom, encourage innovation, strengthen professional identity, inspire new authors, and provide a platform for sharing the evidence, ideas and experiences that help Traditional East Asian Medicine continue to evolve. Whether you’re an experienced practitioner, a researcher, a student, or someone who’s never considered writing for a journal, this discussion is an inspiring reminder that every published article helps build the profession’s collective knowledge and raises its profile on the world stage.
