| Overview of the focus and scope |
The African Journal of Primary Health & Family Medicine (PHCFM) welcomes submissions that encourages scholarly exchange between family medicine and primary health care researchers and practitioners across Africa, whilst providing a contextual and holistic view of family medicine as practised across the continent. The journal is indispensable for primary health care practitioners, family medicine specialists and academics from both the developing and developed worlds, and offers an engaging insight into the growth of these disciplines from a distinctly African perspective.
| Audience |
PHCFM seeks to publish innovative research and clinical reviews in all aspects of primary health care and family medicine in the African context including, but not exclusive to:
- Family medicine
- Primary health care
- District health
- Rural health
- Health promotion
- Prevention of disease and disability
- Community oriented primary care
- Education and training of professionals and health workers in family medicine and primary health care.
Submissions in English (full-article) and French (full-article) will be accepted.
| ISSN and eISSN |
The international standard serial number (ISSN) for the African Journal of Primary Health Care & Family Medicine is 2071-2928, and the electronic international standard serial number (eISSN) is 2071-2930.
| Publication frequency |
PHCFM publishes one issue per year. Individual articles are published as soon as they are ready for publication by adding them to the table of contents of the 'current' volume and issue. In this way, the African Journal of Primary Health Care & Family Medicine aims to speed up the process of manuscript publication from submission to becoming available on the website. Special issues may be added on an ad hoc basis to the journal throughout a particular year which will form part of consecutive issues thereafter.
