Texas Family Medicine Research Journal seeks authors, editors, and readership

It is time for family medicine to expand its scholarly horizons with the creation of a new family medicine journal, with Texas taking the lead. Introducing the new Texas Family Medicine Research Journal, an open-access, nonprofit, peer-reviewed, quarterly online journal, with the first issue to be published on August 31, 2025. You can read TFMRJ for free at https://tfmrj.scholasticahq.com/.

This journal was built by and for the family physicians of Texas. We strive for our authors, readers, and editors to be medical students, residents, and medical school faculty as well as physicians. Our goal is not only to promote and disseminate family medicine research throughout Texas, but also to help guide authors with less research experience through the submission and publishing process. There is no subscription fee to read our journal, and the cost of manuscript submission is low when compared to similar journals.

If you are interested in submitting a manuscript to TFMRJ, please review our website’s author guidelines. We extend a special invitation to new authors, including community physicians, medical students, residents, and new faculty, with less research and publication experience by streamlining manuscript submission with an intuitive and responsive online process. We also publish case reports and editorials that may not fall into the traditional longer research timeline. Fundamentally, we emphasize topics relevant to family medicine in the state of Texas.

For any of our readers who would like to become reviewers or editors, please contact us at txfmrj@gmail.com. Sponsorship and advertising opportunities are also available. For ways to support our nonprofit journal, please see the corresponding section of our website.

Any questions about our mission, the upcoming inaugural issue, or the journal in general can be answered on our website or directed to our main email at txfmrj@gmail.com.

We look forward to having you be part of our journal community.
