AfJEM is the only peer-reviewed, scientific, open access, emergency medicine journal published from Africa. It is published Quarterly (March, June, September and December) and is free to publish in for LMIC authors and free to access for all | Published by Elsevier (ISSN: 2211-419X)
AfJEM adopts a gold (paid) open access model
From 2021 the AfJEM will require an article processing fee from some of our authors when accepting an article for publication. This is necessary to fund the journal's growing outputs and therefore to maintain its ongoing operation.
An article processing fee of $1200 (less than half the average article processing fee across emergency medicine journals) will be required where the corresponding author of an article accepted for publication is from a high-income country.
An article processing fee will not be required for articles where the corresponding author is from a low- or a middle-income country. In other words, authors from low- or middle-income countries will continue to benefit from free publishing, whilst all articles will remain open access.

Call for papers: Systematic reviews

If you wish, do contact the editor to discuss an idea for a systematic review or submit your contribution directly
