Scope
BMJ Public Health is an international, open access and peer-reviewed journal of public health. We publish work related to all aspects of public health, from global issues such as the impact of climate change on population health, to studies conducted in specific locations.
Underpinning the journal is BMJ's primary purpose: to share knowledge and expertise that improve health outcomes through better evidence, better decisions and better systems. BMJ Public Health will work with the public health community, at all levels, to publish rigorous qualitative and quantitative research and analysis to drive evidence-based public health policy and practice.
The journal welcomes submissions on a range of topics, including health policy, health systems, gender issues in health, mental and behavioural health, digital health, infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, chronic diseases and disease outbreaks. We also welcome submissions that focus on the social determinants of health and well-being, including nutrition, socio-economic status, health literacy, physical activity, and the environment using a broad range of methods from the social and biomedical sciences.
