《家庭医学年鉴》是一份经过同行评审的新研究期刊，旨在支持那些产生和使用有关卫生和初级卫生保健的新知识的人的跨学科学习社区。它产生于日益增长的促进基本初级保健职能和关系的知识库的需要。这些关系包括以整合、个性化和优先考虑卫生保健以减轻疾病负担的方式照顾个人、家庭和社区。家庭实践和初级保健学科需要一个论坛来发展综合的知识体系和以科学、实践和不同的认识方式为基础的通才范式。年鉴的目标就是成为这样一个论坛。该年鉴以临床、生物医学、社会和卫生服务科学的原创研究为特色。方法论和理论方面的贡献为该领域未来的研究奠定了基础。所选的系统综述利用明确的方法来综合已知的内容，并超越已知的内容——推进理论或方法，或确定新的研究方向。来自临床医生、患者、家庭、社区和决策者的反思文章描述了个人对疾病、健康和全科医疗的看法。年鉴以在线互动讨论小组TRACK(对年鉴知识社区的专题回应)为特色。TRACK为读者提供了一个积极参与讨论每篇已发表文章含义的机会。除了特定于文章的讨论之外，开放论坛还为读者提供了介绍其他重要主题的机制。这个开放的论坛还允许调查人员迅速公布新发现，并从那些可能受到工作影响的人那里收集意见。在线讨论的某些方面将在《年鉴》后续期刊的定期编辑专题《On TRACK》中综合讨论。有限数量的投稿将以信件的形式发表给编辑。

The Annals of Family Medicine is a new peer-reviewed research journal that aims to support a transdisciplinary learning community of those who generate and use new knowledge about health and primary health care. It is born out of the growing need to advance the knowledge base for the fundamental primary care functions and relationships. These relationships involve caring for individuals, families, and communities in ways that integrate, personalize, and prioritize health care to reduce the burden of illness. Family practice and the primary care disciplines need a forum to develop an integrated body of knowledge and a generalist paradigm that is grounded in science, practice and different ways of knowing. The Annals aims to be such a forum. The Annals features original research from the clinical, biomedical, social and health services sciences. Contributions on methodology and theory develop the underpinning for future research that advances the field. Selected systematic reviews draw on explicit methods to synthesize what is known and to move beyond - to advance theory or methods, or to identify new research directions. Essays from reflective clinicians, patients, families, communities, and policymakers portray a personal perspective on illness, health, and generalist health care. The Annals features interactive online discussion groups called TRACK (Topical Response to the Annals Community of Knowledge). TRACK provides an opportunity for readers to actively engage in discussion of the implications of each published article. In addition to article-specific discussions, an open forum provides a mechanism for readers to introduce other important topics. This open forum also allows investigators to quickly publicize emerging findings and to gather input from those who are potentially affected by their work. Select aspects of the online discussions will be synthesized in subsequent issues of the Annals in a regular editorial feature called On TRACK. A limited number of submissions will be published as letters to the editor.
