The Lancet

Founded in 1823 as a weekly medical newspaper, The Lancet still upholds the highest standard of scientific rigour that has brought us readers from every country in the world and earned their trust.

Today The Lancet is one of the foremost general medical journals in the world, publishing ground-breaking research that attracts headlines worldwide, and helping to shape the medical agenda globally.

That geographical breadth of coverage is matched by the breadth of our editorial scope, which includes every medical specialty and can range from obscure diseases affecting the few to the chronic diseases affecting millions worldwide.

Researchers, clinicians, medical students—indeed all health professionals—will find something in The Lancet of interest to them.
