By submitting material to the Journal of the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet, the contributor is stipulating that the material is not currently under review at another journal (electronic or print) and that they will not submit the material to another journal (electronic or print) until the completion of the editorial decision process at the Journal of the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet. If you have concerns about the submission terms, please contact the editors.

The Journal does not charge any submission fees or article processing charges.

Materials that require minor or major revisions are not guaranteed publication, should the contributor fail to meet the expectations of the reviewers or the editors.
  • Preview. Accepted contributions are published in PDF form; contributors are encouraged to proof their individual pieces with care.
