Aims and scope

ETP/ TPE is the Journal of the european society for therapeutic patient education (SETE)

This bilingual journal (French/English) has an international editorial board and aims to contribute to the development of research and practice in therapeutic patient education. In recent years, it has extended its scope of publication to the field of health education (health education, family health education, education in first aid, etc.).

- ETP/TPE publishes two issues per year. The articles are available in print and online and, thanks to its hybrid model, also in Open Access for authors who so wish. The journal's policy is to reduce publication times to less than six months.

Since its launch, fourteen years ago, ETP/ TPE has established as a unique scientific journal for the French speaking countries in the field of patient education. The journal accepts submissions of original scientific articles, reviews of literature, methodological studies, case reports and comments. The Editorial Board encourages ethical publication practices. The journal publishes articles reporting studies which have been carried out respecting the highest standards in medical and scientific publication and academic honesty. Editors, reviewers and authors are invited to consult the Ethical Publication Committee (COPE) for all aspects of ethical publication (http://publicationethics.org/).
