Aims and scope

Archives of Public Health is a multi-speciality public health journal, dedicated to publishing sound science that has clear policy implications in the field of population health. The journal aims to better the health of populations by contributing to public health knowledge, enhancing the interaction between research, policy and practice, and stimulating population health monitoring and indicator development.
The journal particularly welcomes submissions on the following speciality topics:

  • Health information systems
  • Burden of disease methodology and applications
  • Health policy monitoring and evaluation, including health impact assessments
  • The social, structural and behavioural determinants of population health and health inequalities
  • Methodologies in population health research and knowledge translation

Please note: Archives of Public Health adheres strictly to its submission guidelines, and manuscripts that do not comply won't be considered for review. A greater part of submitted papers are rejected due to being out of scope, so authors are encouraged to review the journal’s aims and scope carefully before submitting their work. The journal no longer publishes bibliometric studies. 

'Contributions to the literature' section

All papers submitted to Archives of Public Health must include a bulleted statement describing what the paper, if published, would add to the literature. This is an important section within each submission, which should be written from the perspective of population health and/or population health policy. 

The statement should consist of three to five bullet points of no more than 100 words in total. Authors should not simply restate their findings or conclusions; the statement must contextualize the paper in the full public health literature and provide a succinct statement about what it adds. The statement will be useful in assessing priority for publication and, once having undergone peer review and acceptance with the manuscript, will be included at the beginning of the published article both in the HTML and PDF formats.

The statement should be in lay language and understandable to all readers, written for readers of moderate English literacy. The statement should be inserted immediately after the abstract within the manuscript file under the heading 'Contributions to the literature.' To view a published example, please see here
