Why this journal exists

Every year, thousands of medical students, international medical graduates and early-career clinicians complete rigorous audits and quality-improvement projects that are never published.

Prestige QI journals price them out; fast mega-journals teach them nothing; institutional repositories give no DOI and no recognition. GJPC exists to close that gap: a credible, mentored, free route to citable publication — built on SQUIRE 2.0 discipline, not volume.

GJPC publishes work that improves everyday care: primary care and family medicine, preventive health, quality improvement and clinical audit, and medical education research. One annual volume, continuous publication — articles appear the day they are ready.

Governance & ownership

Ownership, declared

GJPC is published by MD Acumen Ltd (England, no. 16538952). The Editor-in-Chief, Prof Rajesh Varma, holds an ownership interest in the publisher. We state this everywhere because credibility begins with disclosure.

Editorial independence

Editorial decisions rest solely with the editorial team. Any manuscript involving the Editor-in-Chief’s institutions, students or collaborators is handled end-to-end by a Deputy Editor-in-Chief. No fee, partner or sponsor can influence acceptance.

Measured integrity

We publish our acceptance rate, median decision times and editor-authored share annually, and cap editor/board-authored content below 25% of output. Ethics cases follow COPE flowcharts.

Academic partners

Partnership discussions are underway with New Vision University and East West University (Tbilisi, Georgia) — WHO-listed medical schools with large international cohorts — and with student research networks including GIMSOC. Partner crests appear here upon signature; partners hold no acceptance rights, which is precisely what makes their endorsement meaningful.
