Information For Librarians

Enhance Your Collection with Primary Care Science and Practice (PCSP)

We invite research librarians to include Primary Care Science and Practice (PCSP) in their library’s electronic journal holdings. As an Open Access journal dedicated to the advancement of primary care, our content provides valuable, evidence-based insights for faculty, researchers, and healthcare practitioners.

Why Include PCSP in Your Digital Library?

• Diamond Open Access: PCSP provides immediate, worldwide open access to its content. There are no subscription fees or "paywalls" for your patrons, supporting the equitable distribution of scientific knowledge.
• Persistent Identifiers & Discoverability: We utilize Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for all articles and support OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting), ensuring that our metadata is easily discoverable by library search engines and institutional repositories.
• Long-Term Preservation: We are committed to the long-term preservation of scholarly research. PCSP utilizes the LOCKSS and CLOCKSS systems (via the Public Knowledge Project) to create a distributed archiving system among participating libraries, ensuring the permanent safety and accessibility of the journal's content.
• Scientific Rigor: Our journal maintains strict peer-review standards and follows the ethical guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), ensuring high-quality resources for your academic community.

Technical Integration Librarians may find it helpful to note that this journal’s Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform is designed to be compatible with modern library management systems. For assistance with metadata integration or bulk indexing, please contact our Editorial Office.
