Australasian Journal of Paramedicine

Aims & Scope

The Australasian Journal of Paramedicine (AJP) publishes manuscripts from the general pre-hospital setting that are of various methodologies and lengths.

The AJP publishes scientifically-sound research covering all areas of pre-hospital based research, even if they have low study numbers and have found negative outcomes.

The editors will consider articles that may not get published in other journals to promote all types of research outcomes for the good of the greater pre-hospital care community.

The AJP accepts manuscripts covering, but not limited to, first aid, disaster preparedness, disaster management/response, military/combat environment, emergency management, non-emergency management, clinical practice, education, policy, service delivery and management.

One of the main aims of the AJP is to reduce the loss to the research community when studies remain unpublished on the basis of small sample size, limited usefulness, scientific advance or level of interest.

The AJP therefore provides a repository for short publications, case series, incremental updates to previous work, results of individual experiments, results of confirmatory and 'negative' results, and similar material that currently lacks a suitable repository.

The views expressed by the authors of articles published in the Australasian Journal of Paramedicine are not necessarily those of the publisher or the editorial staff and should not be quoted as such.
