Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin Vol 8 No 2
The HealthBulletin has been re-developed and launched by the HealthInfoNet as a new website www.healthbulletin.org.au. The April - June 2008 issue of the Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin is now 'in progress' and available online (view current issue). The purpose of the Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin is to provide access to information of relevance to Australian Indigenous health. Reflecting the wide range of our users - policy makers, service providers, researchers, students and the general community - the HealthBulletin attempts to keep people informed of current events of relevance, as well as information about recent research.
The new look HealthBulletin will continue to be published as four cumulative issues per year (the first issue each year commencing on 1 January, the second on 1 April, and so on).
New features include:
- the home page now presents a contents list for each issue – a format used by many other journals. Being a cumulative online journal – with new material added to each issue as it becomes available – the HealthBulletin contents list will lengthen as new material is added.
- a ‘Just in’ section has been added. Entries in this section are listed in the reverse order to which they were added to the HealthBulletin – that is, the item added most recently is listed first.
- There is a new ‘Topics’ section that comprises a cumulative
index by topic of all content published from the April-June 2008 issue (Volume
8, number 2) onwards. Content published in previous issues of the HealthBulletin will
not be included, but can be searched for in the archives. Only topic areas
for which content has been published are included in the index, but this will
expand as new content is added to this and subsequent issues
- An RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed that keeps users informed of the latest content on the HealthBulletin, so that it’s not necessary to visit the site to find updates; and
- A ‘search’ function has also been added, meaning that you’ll be able to locate items according to keyword.
As with all areas of our site, we welcome your assistance and contributions
in making the Australian Indigenous HealthBulletin as useful as
possible.The general categories used by the new HealthBulletin will
remain the same as previous issues, so people still have the opportunity
of publishing their work in a journal recognised in the Australian
Government’s
register of peer reviewed journals. Please let us know (view
HealthInfoNet contact details) about events
and information relating to sections of the HealthBulletin.
If you would like to submit an article for inclusion
in 'Original articles', 'Reviews' or 'Brief reports',
please see the notes for contributors (view notes for
contributors).
