How to submit to a special issue in Public Health International (JPHI).
A structured path for special issue submissions
Special issues in Public Health International focus on priority themes in population health, epidemiology, prevention science, health systems, and global health policy. Submissions follow the same rigorous review standards as regular issues, with additional coordination to ensure topical cohesion.
Use this page as a guide to prepare your manuscript and align with the special issue scope.
- Select the appropriate special issue during submission and mention it in your cover letter.
- Follow all author guidelines for formatting, ethics, and data availability.
- Provide clear statements of novelty and relevance to the special issue theme.
- Suggest qualified reviewers who do not have conflicts of interest.
- Respond to reviewer feedback promptly and comprehensively.
Special issue manuscripts are handled by guest editors in collaboration with the journal editorial office. Decisions are based on reviewer reports, relevance to the theme, and overall contribution to the field.
Consistency in publishing standards improves discoverability and trust. We emphasize transparent methods, structured metadata, and clear author contributions to ensure that articles remain valuable long after publication.
Authors can strengthen impact by using specific keywords, well organized figures, and precise abstracts. These elements improve how search engines and library systems interpret the article.
Our policies are designed to balance openness with responsible stewardship of data and participant privacy. When restrictions apply, we encourage clear data availability statements to preserve transparency.
For complex projects, we recommend early planning around permissions, ethical approvals, and repository selection. This reduces delays at the final publication stage.
Readers benefit most when conclusions are carefully framed and limitations are explicit. Clear statements of scope help the community apply findings appropriately.
If your institution has specific compliance requirements, we can provide supporting documentation and guidance upon request.
