HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE JOURNAL
The Aboriginal & Islander Health Worker Journal welcomes and accepts contributions in the following forms – handwritten, typed, email, photographic. Our preferred method is a Word or text formatted document sent by email or by post on a CD. Lengths of articles are variable, depending on the topic, but should be kept to a minimum of six A4 pages. Digital photos and other illustrations should be high resolution and should be attached separately – in .pdf or .jpg format – rather than being embedded in Word documents. Please supply information with photos, such as people's names, so that our captions are correct and informative.
Please include authors' names and job titles and where they are employed or studying, so that articles are properly credited. At the end of the article, include references and contact information, if necessary.
For our purposes we must have authors' contact details for verification and clarification. Include a mail address so that we can send a copy of the Journal in which the article appears.
Ideally, articles should focus on contributions to the health and wellbeing outcomes that "close the gap" in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, while helping to empower the professionalism of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers and give acknowledgement and credit to the work they do.
Your article may cover a range of topics such as primary health care, community profiles, health promotion, best practice models, workforce issues, evaluations, research projects, capacity-building, policy development, health education/training, innovative projects, partnerships, feedback from conferences, workshops and events. Information should be up-to-date, accurate and culturally appropriate and relevant.
We see the Journal as a networking tool that shares and empowers individuals, community and all health professionals. If your article supports this notion, we would like to publish it for the benefit of all. Articles must be culturally appropriate and beneficial to anyone providing health services to and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
It doesn't matter whether you are a health worker, student, nurse, doctor, researcher, professor, volunteer, retired or unemployed, or if you work in service provision with a government, community-controlled organisation, community group or private enterprise – your contribution is necessary and welcome. There would be no Journal without you.
Remember – the Aboriginal & Islander Health Worker Journal is a peer-reviewed journal. We look forward to receiving your contribution.
