Journal of Asian Midwives (JAM) is the first regional and international peer review online biannual midwifery journal. JAM aims to promote midwifery in Asia through the publication of high quality articles. The journal is peer-reviewed for its research articles and open to all. We encourage the submission of research papers, theoretical papers, policy papers in the field of midwifery practice and education, maternity care and related fields. We accept all forms of research, including research based on primary and secondary analysis of data, as well as quantitative, qualitative research and mixed methods research. The Regional and International Editorial, Associate and the Advisory Boards maintain its quality through fast, fair, and professional peer review.

“The Journal of Asian Midwifery (JAM) is owned and published by the South Asian Midwifery Alliance (SAMA), which was established in 2008 with the vision of promoting maternal and neonatal health while advocating for the midwifery profession in the region. SAMA has now been merged with the Midwifery Alliance of Asia (MAA), a broader organization that brings together midwifery associations from across Asia. Founded in 2015, MAA is committed to improving maternal and newborn health outcomes through collaborative efforts across the continent. The scope of MAA aligns closely with the mission of JAM, as both aim to enhance midwifery practice, education, and research across Asia. JAM serves as a platform for sharing knowledge, innovations, and best practices that contribute to MAA's overarching goals of strengthening the midwifery profession and improving maternal and neonatal care throughout the region.”

The biannual issues of JAM will be published in June and December.

Aga Khan University Libraries and Aga Khan University School of Nursing and Midwifery have agreed to host this online journal through AKU Institutional Repository eCommons.
