International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC)

The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) was one of the first outputs of the small collaboration of integrated care early adopters who came together in Utrecht in 2000. Since that time the journal has grown in size and impact.

The journal is part of the International Foundation for Integrated Care’s movement for change and we see the journal as a critical enabler of our strategic goal to lead the science of integrated care and provide opportunities for researchers, policymakers, health and care workers and people who are partners in their own care to share knowledge.

IJIC is an international, multi- and inter-disciplinary, peer-reviewed, online journal established as a focus for advancing the research evidence base for all aspects of integrated care. Its range includes empirical papers and theoretical discussions relevant to policy and practice, methodological papers about improving methods in integrated care research, and perspectives papers commenting on significant issues for the field of integrated care research, policy and practice.

There is a fee for submitting or publishing articles and all articles are published online as open access on the journal’s website to ensure maximum impact for all work. The fee covers the cost of operating the journal. Any surplus is reinvested in the International Foundation for Integrated Care’s work to promote and expand the movement of change towards integrated people-driven care world-wide.
