Print delay for IJSLP Due to the impact of the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic the publishers of the Association’s International Journal of Speech Language Pathology (IJSLP) have suspended print of the journal. The publishers, Taylor and Francis, have advised that compromised mail services and general business disruptions at this time make print production and distribution of print copies unmanageable. Speech Pathology Australia members will continue to have full online access to the journal articles. “We are continuing to publish our usual high-quality articles and look forward to members accessing the latest published work online,” said IJSLP Editor Anne Whitworth. The situation continues to be monitored and printing is planned to resume in May. Members will receive the print editions of the April and June editions at that time.
