Knowledge Dissemination
The Institute controls its own dissemination pipeline. Four publishing streams — all open access or practitioner-accessible — feed directly back into the clinical and education ecosystem.
Journal of Traditional & Network Medicine
The journal is committed to whole-systems research design. Most journals in this space default to reductionist methodology — isolating single compounds, forcing complex interventions into RCT designs built for molecular entities. This journal publishes research that preserves intervention complexity.
Indexing Roadmap
DOAJ registration (Year 1) → Scopus indexing (within 3 years) → PubMed Central (following Scopus). Transparent about indexing status — an un-indexed journal with a clear roadmap is more credible than one that obscures where it stands.
Open Access Policy
All published research is freely available under Creative Commons licensing. No article processing charges at launch. The Institute's position is that traditional medicine knowledge was never proprietary and its validation shouldn't be either.
For Authors
Submission guidelines, editorial board composition, and the double-blind review process will be published when the journal opens for submissions. Target launch date will be announced following establishment of the inaugural editorial board.
Protocol Monograph Series
Each monograph covers a specific clinical protocol in full: evidence summary, prescribing guidelines, outcome measures, contraindications, drug interaction tables, and patient communication frameworks. These are living reference documents that evolve as outcome data accumulates from the practitioner network registry.
Update Cycle
Monographs are version-controlled with published change logs. When new clinical outcome data comes in from the network registry, relevant monographs are updated on a defined review cycle. Practitioners know exactly what changed and why — no silent revisions.
Access
Monograph content is available through the practitioner portal for credentialed network members. One monograph (or a redacted excerpt) will be made publicly available as a demonstration of the series' quality and clinical rigour.
Monograph Structure
Evidence Summary → Prescribing Protocol → Outcome Measures → Contraindications → Change Log. Each section is version-controlled with published rationale for every revision.
Institute Working Papers
When the TGA changes cannabis prescribing rules, when NHMRC updates research guidelines, when new evidence challenges established clinical frameworks — the working paper series is how the Institute responds publicly. These are time-sensitive, pre-publication documents: preliminary findings, regulatory commentary, theoretical position papers.
Access & Publication Cycle
Fully open. Each working paper is published with title, abstract, date, author(s), division tag(s), and PDF download. Reviewed by at least two Institute faculty members but not subject to external peer review. Explicitly marked as pre-publication and may be revised, superseded, or withdrawn.
Textbook Series
Each textbook is authored specifically for the Institute's pedagogical framework: case-based architecture, inverse classroom delivery, and portfolio assessment. They integrate the convergence thesis throughout — not as an add-on chapter, but as the organising principle for how clinical knowledge is structured and applied.
Development Pipeline

The Institute welcomes research submissions, working paper proposals, and expressions of interest for editorial board positions.
