Prepared by editors who are renowned international experts in the field, the Thieme Almanac provides a review of the state of the study, teaching, practice, and development of acupuncture and Chinese-rooted medicine around the world.

Aim and Scope

The aim of the Thieme Almanac is both novel and twofold: To offer the field of acupuncture and Chinese medicine a voice and to develop greater cooperation and communication among its diverse parts. The Thieme Almanac aims to become the resource of choice for practitioners, educators, interns, and students of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.

A survey of educational programs worldwide, articles on the ever-changing domain of laws and regulations, and the current state of research, clinical practice, and professional developments make up the scope of each issue. Regular features include a listing of international societies and organizations, a congress calendar that serves as a compact guide to all major events, traditional Chinese almanac information, book reviews, and an informative section on professional product and supplier news.

The Thieme Almanac website mirrors the organization of the print version and offers additional online features, such as a form to enter your congress or education event online, an author guide to submitting a manuscript, the editors’ biographies, and easy ordering options and instructions.
