Call for Submissions:
The Journal of Global Health
Based at Columbia University in the City of New York, The Journal of
Global Health is a student-run, international publication that seeks
to highlight innovative solutions to global health problems.
Our inaugural spring 2011 issue of JGH features the work of undergraduate
and graduate students at over twelve different institutions in six countries
and covers topics from four different continents. It can be found at www.ghjournal.org/current-issue.
The Fall 2011 Issue of JGH: “Global Health is Local”
Although disease outbreaks and the major health problems of the future
often have no boundaries, all public health is arguably local in scope.
Despite the moniker “global health,” all medical care is ultimately patient-centered.
This fall 2011 issue of JGH will spotlight on community health, and we
encourage the submission of pieces that specifically address public health
at the community level. Some relevant topics include: environmental health,
infectious and chronic disease, health care disparities, risk factors for
disease incidence, health literacy, disease surveillance, interventions
to promote healthy lifestyles, and health psychology. In addition,
as with our recent spring 2011 issue, we welcome the submission of all
papers that address behavioral, biological, environmental, political, or
socioeconomic factors that affect the health of populations and individuals.
Until September 30, 2011, we will be accepting:
- Original Academic Research Papers – Research-based
works addressing a specific area of global health
- Perspectives – Opinion pieces that address
fresh and exciting developments in global health
- Field notes – Written with a more
personal voice, pieces that are based on your direct involvement in the
field
Information on submissions
can be found at www.ghjournal.org.
For all inquiries, please email [log in to unmask].
Please submit all pieces via our online submission form at www.ghjournal.org/submit.
