Ann Acad Med Singap
-
Shortly after the inauguration of the Academy of Medicine in 1957, the idea of bringing out a journal to be called the "Annals" was considered. It was not until in 1972 that a regular quarterly publication entitled the Annals of the Academy of Medicine was possible. ⋯ The listing of the Annals in the Index Medicus in 1979 was an important milestone in the development of the Annals. With the appointment of a full-time Editorial Assistant in 1981, the Annals is now on a much firmer footing to establish itself as a journal of international repute.
