The International Archives of Medicine is an open access medical journal covering all aspects of medicine. It was established in 2008 and published by BioMed Central until the end of 2014. Starting in 2015, the journal is being published by iMed.pub, the official publisher of the Internet Medical Society, and restructured as a megajournal on all areas of medicine. The journal is abstracted and indexed in Embase and Scopus. The editor-in-chief is Manuel Menéndez-González (es [Hospital Álvarez Buylla]).

In 2015, as part of a sting operation, science journalist John Bohannon submitted an intentionally shoddy and deceptive study that claimed that eating chocolate aided weight-loss to the International Archives of Medicine. The article was accepted without peer review by the journal's CEO who called the manuscript "outstanding" and published without any change for a fee of €600.
