Global Health Action

Aims & Scope

Global Health Action publishes Original Research articles, Review articles, Short Communications and Current Debate articles.

Special niches within Global Health Action include articles on Capacity Building, Study Designs and a Methods Forum, as well as PhD reviews.

These are described in our Instructions for Authors.

All articles, except editorials and invited commentaries, follow a stringent process of external peer-review.

If manuscripts are received that are not up to the standard required for publication in the Journal, but relate to research that has publication potential, authors may be offered mentorship from a senior academic who will work collaboratively to improve the manuscript.

In such cases the mentor will be named in the published article as a Contributing Editor.
