Journal of Public Health and Health Systems is a journal in the EJSIR Publisher programme, focused on Public Health and Health Systems. Its scope is organized into academic sections covering Epidemiology, Global Health, Health Policy, Health Systems, Health Services Research, Disease Prevention, Environmental Health, Digital Public Health, Occupational Health and Population Health Analytics. This structure helps authors assess disciplinary fit and gives readers a clear route through the journal’s subject coverage. The journal welcomes original research article, review article, systematic review, short communication and other contributions described in its author guidance when they fit the scope. Appropriate methods include epidemiological study designs, surveillance, health-services research, policy analysis, qualitative inquiry and mixed-methods research. Authors should describe sampling, measures, data quality, analytical decisions, ethics and privacy safeguards, and discuss the limits to generalization. Authors should engage relevant scholarship, explain the contribution and report limitations needed for critical assessment. Editorial assessment considers journal fit, methodological or interpretive quality, research integrity and clarity. The stated review model is double-anonymous peer review, normally with at least two independent reviewers. Publisher policies on ethics, access, authorship, conflicts, data and corrections apply alongside this journal’s scope. Submission information is provided on this site; manuscripts can be submitted only after the journal’s submission route opens.
