EID provides faster access to the Journal of the Board of Family Medicine ( JABFM) Online for users from certain countries outside of the United States and Canada. Using a special private line (http://intl.jabfm.org) to access JABFM Online from the following countries provides a consistency and reliability advantage: Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, The Netherlands, and United Kingdom.

International Licensing and Translations of JABFM Content
|
|---|
Having received numerous requests over the years for permission to reprint articles in foreign languages, JABFM decided to formalize the request process and to actively market JABFM to overseas publishers who might be interested in performing their own translation and publishing services. To that end, a contractual relationship has begun with Healthy Impressions, Inc, of Florida, to represent JABFM to foreign publishers in the sublicensing of non-English editions of JABFM issues or specific articles. Articles translated locally for printing in the United States will still be handled through the JABFM editorial office (jabfm{at}med.wayne.edu). Thus far, Healthy Impressions has signed 2 agreements to provide for the publication of the JABFM in Turkey and in southeast Asia including China and Japan. The publisher in Asia is Ezyhealth Holdings PTE, Ltd, and the publisher in Turkey is YUCE reklam/yayim/dagitim a.s. In addition, through an arrangement with Ovid Technologies, JABFM has granted an online subscription license to the National Health Service in the United Kingdom.

Invitation to International Authors and Peer Reviewers

JABFM encourages manuscript submissions from international authors. All manuscripts are peer reviewed and evaluated on the extent to which they represent original work, provide new knowledge, are significant to the advancement of family medicine, and are of interest to family physicians and primary care researchers.1,2 JABFM also has a feature titled "Family Medicine –World Perspective," which reports on the practice or education of family physicians around the world.
We also welcome new peer reviewers.3,4 To join the JABFM reviewer database, please complete the peer reviewer volunteer form available at http://www.jabfm.org/misc/PeerReviewers.shtml and fax to (313) 577-9828 or e-mail to jabfm{at}med.wayne.edu.
