We are thrilled to start 2026 with a brand new Collection. The Africa Collection brings together scholarly articles about Africa and by African authors. It represents a concerted effort by the IJFAE to create, publish, and promote first aid education science and practice grounded in African contexts. Through this Collection, the IJFAE aims to:
- Serve as a platform that elevates and champions African voices, collaborations, and scholarship in the field
- Support authors to deliver research that is contextualized to the diverse needs and practices within African communities
- Accelerate the practical application of evidence-based first aid education and science across the continent
Key, relevant research themes include, but are not limited to: cultural, religious and ethical aspects of first aid education; environmental and climate-related emergencies; maternal, neonatal and child emergencies; road traffic crashes and bystander first aid; community health and occupational safety. We plan to ensure that all published articles in this collection include a supplementary full article translation onto an African language (ideally the mother tongue of the author). We hope this will help you to spread your work to wider audiences and reach new communities with your ideas and scholarship.
As ever, we welcome submissions from Emerging Scholars, practitioners and academics. Please get in touch if you have an idea or current research that you're interested in publishing with us. We look forward to hearing from you.
