Aims and Scope

We are delighted to announce that Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health (APJPH) will be publishing a special issue, which focuses on pacific health research in July 2021.

Our Pacific region is diverse, distinctive and an emerging hub for excellence in research and innovation. As the region faces persistent, endemic and emerging challenges, high-quality, context-specific knowledge is increasingly important resource as we work together to achieve quality health for all. This issue encourages submissions that prioritises Pacific led research and commentary on topics relating to Pacific populations in the Pacific region.  We accept all research including original articles, review articles, letter to editor, commentary, case reports and short reports.

We especially seek contributions on some of the most pressing challenges and influential initiatives impacting people’s lives and livelihoods: climate change, mental health, addiction, infectious and non-communicable diseases, maternal and child health, gender, youth and public health emergency and disaster response.  

We encourage manuscripts that demonstrate a focus on collaborative, innovative, practical and regionally relevant approaches to improving positive health outcomes for Pacific people/communities.

Please submit your manuscript at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/apjph and ensure that you mention this call for papers in your cover letter. 

Questions about the special issue should be directed to the Editorial Office at apjphoffice@gmail.com.

Deadline for submissions: 30th Nov 2020

Publication date: July 2021
