《蘇格蘭醫學雜志》每年出版四次，致力于出版醫學各分支的原始調查報告、評論文章、醫學興趣的歷史主題和臨床備忘錄。論文被接受發表的條件是，它們只提供給本雜志，并成為蘇格蘭醫學雜志的財產。蘇格蘭醫學雜志包括愛丁堡醫學雜志(創建于1805年)和格拉斯哥醫學雜志(創建于1828年)。

The Scottish Medical Journal is published four times per year and is devoted to the publication of original investigations in all branches of medicine, review articles, historical subjects of medical interest, and clinical memoranda. Papers are accepted for publication on condition that they are offered to this journal alone and that they become the property of the Scottish Medical Journal.
