The Primary Care Respiratory Journal is our official journal and the official journal  of our UK member, the General Practice Airways Group (GPIAG) that holds the copyright.  It is published every two months and is indexed on Medline/Index Medicus, SCOPUS and EMBASE and is available in full text online at http://www.thepcrj.org/index.php

It also includes an IPCRG news section.

Writing for the PCRJ

We invite the submission of papers for publication on all aspects of respiratory conditions commonly found in primary and community settings in low, medium and  high income countries across the world.  The Primary Care Respiratory Journal publishes original research papers, reviews, discussion papers and letters relating to all aspects of respiratory conditions in primary and community care. We also aim to encourage research in primary care by publishing short reports of preliminary work and final reports or observations not requiring a lengthy write-up.

Assistance for inexperienced authors and those who first language is not English

We wish to expand the value of the PCRJ to our members, and so, in conjunction with the Editorial Board and the publisher, offer assistance to authors whose first language is not English, and for those new to submitting work for publication.   If you require more information please contact our Business Manager, Sam Louw.
 
How to access the Primary Care Respiratory Journal

Full online open access to the journal is available via http://www.thepcrj.org/index.php. All publications on this site except where the contrary is indicated are a copyright of GPIAG. They may be downloaded and printed for individual use. Reproduction of copies may be arranged for a fee.  The IPCRG will, in due course, also distribute some hard copies of the journal to members who find online access difficult.

Future developments

The IPCRG is working with the GPIAG and publisher to look at ways to improve the value of the journal to our global primary care respiratory community, and will work with our members to identify improvements and opportunities.
