Submissions to Health and Interprofessional Practice must comply with ALL items on the following checklist. Non-compliant submissions will be returned to authors for revision before any further consideration.
In addition to the general guidelines outlined above, submissions must comply with guidelines specific to the category of submission.
Note: There is no page or word limit for manuscripts submitted to HIPE unless specifically noted in the section descriptions below. However, if a particularly extensive manuscript is accepted, the editors may encourage the author to publish it in instalments (either in the same issue or in consecutive issues).
All original theory and research articles must include a structured abstract of no more than 250 words. The structure of the abstract should mirror the required sections for each paper type outlined below (excluding the literature review section).
All theory and research articles must include, immediately below the abstract on the same page, a section entitled "Implications for Interprofessional Practice." Within this section, authors must provide 3-5 items (arranged in a numerical list) that describe in plain language the implications of the study's findings for either practice, education or both. Authors should focus on why the manuscript should be of concern/interest and how its conclusions will impact either patient care or practitioner education. It will benefit authors to understand the review criteria for this manuscript type.
The reviewers' critique criteria for Original Theory and Research manuscripts is available at: original theory research reviewer template.
All theory articles should include the following primary sections (slight deviations are permissible if the topic requires them):
All research articles must adhere to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts outlined by ICMJE in all matters of substance and ethics. Research articles should include the following primary sections (subordinate sections will vary by paper):
Guidance for manuscript style for both theory and research articles should be derived from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th Edition).
As appropriate, authors are encouraged to submit supplementary audio-visual materials to illustrate the techniques or practices discussed in their articles. Videos will be posted alongside published articles. Note: If subjects other than the author(s) are pictured in the video, signed releases from the video participants will be required before videos are posted to the journal website.
Submissions to this section may include either case reports or case conferences. Case reports should focus on interprofessional care experiences and suggest strategies for successful interprofessional treatment of specific conditions. Case conferences should present cases and relevant materials necessary for the presentation of an interactive case conference. Case conferences should necessitate the involvement of at least three (3) health professions.
Case reports should adhere to the following format (subheadings may be added to the Case Presentation and Discussion sections as necessary):
The Discussion section should focus on the challenges, opportunities, benefits or strategies that were presented through the use of interprofessional care in this specific case.
Case reports that do not include a statement of patient consent will not be accepted for review and publication. The author(s) must have obtained written consent from the patient to use his/her case for the purposes of publication. This document must be available for editorial review at any time, but should not be submitted with the manuscript. An example of language that is appropriate for this statement is provided by the Journal of Medical Case Reports: "Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and accompanying images. A copy of the written consent is available for review by the Editor-in-Chief of this journal."
Case conferences should use the following suggested format (deviations are acceptable where appropriate):
Case conferences should be certain to emphasize points where interprofessional communication/collaboration would be beneficial to patient care. If possible, cases should not be about specific patients (if so, consent is needed as with case reports).
Articles that provide descriptions of educational programs or pedagogies within an interprofessional framework, or which offer a programmatic evaluation of an interprofessional educational activity, but which do not qualify as original research/theory or review articles, should be submitted for this section. It will benefit authors to understand the review criteria for this manuscript type.
The reviewers' critique template for Educational Strategies manuscripts is available at: educational strategies reviewer template.
Educational Strategies should use the following suggested format (deviations are acceptable where appropriate):

Submissions should focus on what the student(s) have learned related to interprofessional competencies and compare it to current literature. A discussion on the knowledge, skills and/or behaviors which the student can integrate into their future practice that supports interprofessional growth should be included.
Appropriate submissions include critical reviews of books addressing interprofessional education or practice, health services research methods or cross-cultural care. Critical reviews of online evidence-based resources (e.g. new indexes, databases, information systems, point of care resources, etc.) are also encouraged. Only online resources with practical application to education or care should be reviewed.
Book reviews will be published as both text and podcasts. Authors may submit their own podcast but if they do not, a podcast of their written submission will be created by the journal.
