Paramedicine is the culmination of two decades of research publishing in paramedicine, and represents a game-changing evolution in partnership with Sage Publishing. Paramedicine’s vision is to advance and transform the discipline of paramedicine through high-quality research dissemination and discourse. Paramedicine’s mission is to deliver excellence in paramedicine through an international research forum that inspires robust discussion, enables research translation, encourages innovative thinking and informs leadership. Paramedicine will be distinctively different in what it will offer authors and how it will impact the profession internationally. It is a paramedic-led journal that has a clear focus on high-quality research underpinned by excellent science, embraces diverse quantitative and qualitative methodologies and seeks to create an uplift in the paramedicine research publishing experience for authors and readers. Through its professional publishing partnership with Sage Publishing, Paramedicine will pursue an international agenda that brings together the diverse systems, models of care, practice settings and professional philosophies that characterise paramedicine internationally, creating a connected dialogue aimed at advancing the profession.
