Australian Journal of General Practice

Author guidelines

Last revision: May 2021

Update: Coronavirus (COVID-19) articles – Seeking author submissions

To help support our colleagues working in general practice, the Australian Journal of General Practice (AJGP) has developed a dedicated coronavirus (COVID-19) webpage. Important, relevant and timely articles will be published as they become available, in addition to the scheduled monthly release of AJGP.

Authors are invited to submit short articles specifically for the COVID-19 section. All articles will undergo a rapid peer review process, with intended electronic publication within 10 days of acceptance. This manuscript category is outlined in further detail below in section 2.7.

Authors are also invited to submit standard-length articles on COVID-19-related topics. However, as articles of greater extent will require standard editorial review, the information must be of sufficient importance to be considered and time independent to ensure the content is not obsolete at the time of publication.

1. About the journal

The Australian Journal of General Practice (AJGP) aims to provide relevant, evidence-based, clearly articulated information to Australian general practitioners (GPs) to assist them in providing the highest quality patient care, applicable to the varied geographic and social contexts in which GPs work and to all GP roles as clinician, researcher, educator, practice team member and opinion leader. All articles are subject to peer review before they are accepted for publication. The journal is indexed in MEDLINE, Index Medicus and Science Citation Index Expanded.

The Journal was established in 1956 as the Annals of General Practice. In 1971 the Journal was retitled Australian Family Physician (AFP). In 2018 the Journal was renamed Australian Journal of General Practice (AJGP).

AJGP is a member, and subscribes to the principles, of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and to those of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).

All submitted articles are subject to a peer-review process before they are accepted for publication. AJGP is indexed in MEDLINE, Index Medicus and Science Citation Index Expanded.

AJGP does not charge author, editorial or publication fees. All articles are available online free of charge. In addition, Fellows and members of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) receive a published hard copy of each issue.
