History
The Annals of Internal Medicine was established in 1927 and has been published twice monthly since 1988.[8][9] The American College of Physicians previously produced two other journals.[8] The Annals of Medicine was established in 1920 was discontinued after a short run due to financial problems of the publisher.[8] The Annals of Clinical Medicine was renamed to the current title when the ACP took direct control and became publisher.[8] Editors-in-chief have included Aldred Scott Warthin, Carl Weller, Maurice Pincoffs (1933-1960), Paul Clough, J. Russell Elkington (1960-1971), Edward Huth, Robert and Suzanne Fletcher, Frank Davidoff and Harold C.
