Review of Primary Care Practice and Education established in January 2018 and published three times a year (January, May and September). Due to the editorial team's latest decision, we decided to change the journal's publication period from once every 4 months to every 6 months with the number of articles in each publication being 5 articles (1 concept paper, 5 research articles, adn 1 case report). This decision was made based on several factors, including:

1. Manuscript Quality
   Reducing the frequency is expected to enhance the selection and editing process, ensuring that each published issue contains articles with significant academic contribution.

2. Management Efficiency
   A less frequent publication schedule allows the editorial and reviewer teams to work more optimally and thoroughly during the review process.

3. Manuscript Availability
   Based on recent submission trends, the previous frequency was not consistently filled, making this adjustment necessary to maintain consistency and sustainability.

This decision is effective from the issue of Volume 5 Number 1 of 2022.
