The Annals of Family Medicine, a peer-reviewed journal set to debut in 2003, is two steps closer to becoming a publishing reality: It is now accepting manuscripts and soliciting reviewers.
The journal will publish original research, methodology, theory and essays. Annals' goal is to support a learning community for those interested in generalist health care. The journal will seek to identify and address important questions in health and the provision of patient-centered, prioritized, high-quality health care.
And, because the quality of the journal is dependent upon having highly qualified reviewers, the editorial team is also encouraging those wishing to serve as reviewers to register now.
All materials should be submitted electronically to the journal's Web site, http://www.annfammed.org/ . Prospective writers can find instructions for authors at this site.
On its Web site, Annals declares its mission statement: "To mirror the opportunities, complexities and paradoxes of generalist practice, the Annals will reflect breadth and depth, process and outcomes, the general and the personal, the practical and the theoretical."
The Annals, which will be published six times a year, is a collaborative effort of the AAFP and five other organizations. It is managed by an independent board of directors with representation from each of the six organizations.
FP Report is published by the
AAFP News Department.
