The SJPHC is a leading journal within general practice and family medicine research. It is peer-reviewed, has open access and a journal citation index of 2.2. Paper editions come out four times a year. Manuscript handling is electronic and web-based.

The budget includes salaries for part-time jobs in the editorial office.
