JOURNAL OF FAMILY PRACTICE

The Journal of Family Practice (ISSN 0094-3509) is a peer-reviewed, monthly academic publication based in the United States, issued by Frontline Medical Communications Inc. Dedicated to the field of family medicine, the journal serves as a vital resource for primary care practitioners, offering practical insights into clinical practice, disease prevention, health management, and the broader spectrum of primary care. Its content encompasses a diverse range of scholarly outputs, including original clinical research, case reports, comprehensive reviews, and evidence-based practice guidelines, all designed to bridge the gap between medical science and everyday clinical application. As an SCI-indexed journal, it maintains a rigorous standard of quality, although its impact factor, which has recently hovered around 1.5, suggests a more modest standing in certain academic evaluation systems compared to high-impact specialty journals. Authors are encouraged to consider the journal’s specific focus on practical, patient-centered care and its established readership of family physicians when determining the suitability of their submissions.
