Archives of Medical Science (AMS) publishes high quality original papers and short communications prepared especially by young scientists from all over the world. It is a peer-reviewed journal with international Editorial Board. The second aim of AMS is to present best educational manuscripts written by experienced scientists (reviews, letters to Editor, editorials and research papers) to make this Journal even more interesting for young doctors.

Archives of Medical Science is endorsed by the International Lipid Expert Panel (https://ilep.eu/).
