Manuscript Editing for Primary Health Care Research & Development Journal Articles
Primary Health Care Research & Development serves researchers and practitioners in primary health care, bridging research, policy, and practice. It focuses on the integration of health care services, intersectionality, and transitions in care, and it welcomes international and interdisciplinary work. Cambridge University Press publishes it fully open access. Its editor-in-chief is at the Centre for Health Services Studies at the University of Kent.
Research Papers cover quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods studies as well as systematic reviews and meta-analyses, normally up to 5,000 words. Development Papers run no more than 5,000 words, excluding references, and are judged against nine published reviewer questions. References follow the Harvard system, listed alphabetically by first author with journal titles in full. Quotations carry page numbers in the form (Silverman, 1993:15). A structured abstract of up to 300 words uses the headings Aim, Background, Methods, and Findings, followed by keywords. Authors follow the matching EQUATOR guideline, such as CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA, or COREQ. The anonymized manuscript goes in with an anonymous covering letter and a separate title page. Every figure needs alt-text, and the corresponding author supplies an ORCID iD. Review is double-anonymized. Submissions go through Editorial Manager.
