The American Journal of Hospice & Palliative Medicine (ISSN 1049-9091) is a monthly peer-reviewed academic journal published by SAGE Publishing in the United States, serving as a prominent platform for research in the field of hospice and palliative care. The journal encompasses a broad spectrum of multidisciplinary topics, including clinical management of pain and symptoms, psychosocial support, ethical considerations, educational frameworks, and policy practices related to end-of-life care. While it is indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), its impact factor varies by year and is generally considered modest, reflecting the specialized nature of its readership and the competitive landscape within this niche medical discipline. Authors are advised to consult the latest official sources for current impact factor data and the most recent Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal rankings, as these metrics are subject to periodic updates.
