Chronic Illness (CI)

Chronic Illness is a respected interdisciplinary medical and health sciences journal established in 2005 that provides a dedicated academic forum for research on persistent, long‑term health conditions that significantly impact individuals’ lives, healthcare systems and society. Its quarterly publication schedule allows for a steady flow of high‑quality research articles, review papers, methodological contributions and case studies that explore the biological, clinical, psychosocial, social and policy dimensions of chronic disease management and experience. The journal’s scope embraces a wide spectrum of subject matter associated with chronic conditions — ranging from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory conditions and arthritis to mental health conditions and complex multisystem illnesses. A key feature of the journal is its emphasis on integrating research findings with clinical practice and lived experience, bringing together evidence that informs both policy development and healthcare practice. This includes studies on self‑management strategies, patient‑provider communication, quality of life, healthcare disparities, intervention effectiveness, and emerging issues in long‑term care. Chronic Illness encourages submissions that combine rigorous scientific methods with relevance to health outcomes, chronic care delivery and patient‑centred approaches. As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), it follows strict peer‑review standards and ethical policies. Its readership includes clinicians, researchers, public health professionals, social scientists and policymakers interested in advancing knowledge and practice related to chronic health conditions.
