Dear Click4HPers,
I thought some of you might be interested in this fairly new peer-reviewed
journal entitled "International Electronic Journal of Health Education."
It usually has some interesting articles in it and it is currently free for
now. Take a look. Some information about it is provided below from the
HEAT Listserv.
Take care,

Please excuse any cross-postings.
I have been asked by numerous people about the specific information about
the International Electronic Journal of Health Education
(http://www.iejhe.siu.edu), the first completely on-line, peer-reviewed
health education journal.
"The acceptance/rejection rate"
The rejection rate for 1998 year was 62%.
"Circulation"
Based on the number of subscribers. As of December 31, 1998, we had 708
subscribers. Since the journal has had free access, subscribers were
considered those who actively requested a personalized userid/password.
There has been (and remains until February 1) a public domain
userid/password, of which is impossible to determine how many have accessed
the journal via that mechanism.
"Number of Hits"
According to my system, these are the following number of hits per issue:
January: 1,845
March: 1,495
July: 2,018
October: 1,954
"Is the journal peer-reviewed?"
All manuscripts (with the exception of invited articles) are peer-reviewed
by 3 to 4 reviewers.
Review process takes approximately 8 weeks after receipt of manuscript to
the Managing Editor (me). The Journal has a collection of outstanding
reviewers. Although the vast majority of reviewers have had
publishing/reviewing experience, it is the aim of the journal to provide an
opportunity for young health educators to become involved with the review
process. Thus approximately 10% of our reviewers are young professionals.
I typically team a young professional with a seasoned reviewer when I
receive a manuscript. So far I have been very impressed with the young
professionals' reviewing.
Please note that the January issue was invited articles only.
Turn-around Time from Acceptance to Publication:
Once accepted, manuscripts were published within 6-8 weeks.
"What is the Subscription Price?"
>From January 1998 to June 1999: $ 0.00
Effective July 1, 1999: $25 per year (professionals)
$15 for students
For those individuals who submit a paid subscription between January 1,
1999 and June 30, 1999 a six month extension will be added to their
subscription. Information about subscribing can be found on the journal's
web page...click the "register" link.
"Where can I obtain author guidelines?"

Thanks for all of your support.
