The Swiss Medical Weekly is a peer-reviewed open access medical journal published by the SMW supporting association. It was established in 1871 as the Correspondenz-Blatt für Schweizer Aerzte, then renamed to Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift, before obtaining its current title in 2001. SMW was one of the first journals to adhere to the principles of Diamond open access (also known as Platinum Open Access). The editors-in-chief are Adriano Aguzzi and Gérard Waeber.
