Indigenous Health Special Issue | July 2025
Special Call for papers | Submission deadline is 23 December 2024.
The MJA is calling for papers for a Special Issue on Indigenous Health that will be published to coincide with NAIDOC week 2025.
In 2024, the MJA published a Special Issue in partnership with the Lowitja Institute that implemented a range of new editorial policies and practices aimed at privileging Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing that they aim to uphold for this special issue.
For this Special Issue, only submissions that are led by (first or last author) Indigenous authors will be considered for publication. Please refer to the MJA submission guidelines, policies and processes, prior to preparing and submitting an article.
