Editorial Policies
Editorial policies for Journal of Public Health International focused on publication ethics, research integrity, and public health relevance.
Public Health Editorial Standards
These policies guide scope, peer review, and ethical compliance for a trusted public health journal.
Editorial policies set standards for scope, language, accuracy, formatting, and publication integrity in public health research. Clear policies support transparency, indexing standards, and reliable reporting.
Published articles are free to read, download, copy, and redistribute, expanding reach and impact. This improves discoverability for practitioners and policymakers.
We use single-blind peer review. Authors may request double-blind review by removing names and affiliations from the manuscript and providing them only in the cover letter.
Our membership allows multiple publications during the membership term for a minimal fee.
