Abridged Index Medicus (AIM or "Core Clinical") Journal Titles
The Abridged Index Medicus (AIM) was the list of journals covered in the hardcopy publication “Abridged Index Medicus”, which ceased with the December 1997 issue. Until early 2020, the journal list was also used online as a search subset limit or filter called "Core clinical journals" in PubMed®.
Below is the list of journals that were included in the AIM journal list. See the MEDLINE/PubMed Resources Guide section on Journals for additional information.
