Abstract
The launch of the online version of South African Family Practice (SAFP) took place just more than 12 months ago, during December 2005. The most important aim of the project was for the journal content to reach an international audience of researchers, since SAFP was (and still is not) not indexed in PubMed®. The second aim was to increase and diversify the number of original articles submitted to the SAFP, in order to improve the international, particularly African, standing and relevance of the journal, and improve the quality of published original articles.
