The Medical Journal of Australia (MJA) is one of the world’s longest-running and most influential general medical journals, established in 1914. It serves as the official journal of the Australian Medical Association and publishes cutting-edge research that has direct relevance to clinical practice and health systems in Australia and globally. MJA’s content includes original research articles, systematic reviews, clinical guideline summaries, perspectives, narratives on medical practice, and editorials that shape understanding and policy around healthcare delivery. Its twice-monthly publishing schedule (22 issues per year) ensures timely dissemination of important findings and discussion on emerging health issues. The journal emphasises evidence-based medicine and multidisciplinary perspectives, attracting submissions from clinicians, researchers, and policy experts. Topics regularly covered include public health studies, clinical trials, healthcare safety and quality, health equity, and health systems research. MJA also commits to broad access, with hybrid open access options and free access to research articles focusing on Indigenous health and other public-health priorities. Widely indexed—including in MEDLINE/PubMed and Science Citation Index Expanded—MJA’s contributions influence both practice and policy.
