The Journal of Interprofessional Care – Our Official Journal
Since its launch in 1992 following an initiative by the Centre for the Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE) the Journal continues in promoting collaboration, practice and research in education, health and social care and related fields worldwide.
The Journal has retained its focus on education, health and social care and encouraged contributions from other fields where closer collaboration is critical to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities, and to establish and sustain a healthier environment. These include housing, public health, law enforcement and the treatment of offenders. Contributors and readers include service users, students, teachers, trainers, practitioners, managers, policy makers and researchers.
Given the increasing reach and circulation of the journal during 2021, the publishers have agreed a moderate increase in the journal page allowance. This will allow more papers to be included in each issue, and help reduce waiting times from online publication to print copy. This change is made on the back of a range of success indicators, including a 30% increase in downloads, now averaging 350K/year; and submissions, processing close to a thousand manuscripts/year.
CAIPE values its continuing partnership with the Journal exploring collaborative practice, learning, working and research with and between professions and organisations and with service users, carers and communities. CAIPE and the Journal treats research as both a collaborative field in its own right and as a means to evaluate IPE and Practice.
