[edit] Content overview

Globalization and Health considers the following types of articles:

Research - reports of data from original research. Book reviews - short summaries of the strengths and weaknesses of a book. They should evaluate its overall usefulness to the intended audience. Commentaries - short, focussed and opinionated articles on any subject within the journal's scope. These articles are usually related to a contemporary issue, such as recent research findings, and are often written by opinion leaders invited by the Editorial Board. Debate articles - present an argument that is not essentially based on practical research. Debate articles can report on all aspects of the subject including sociological and ethical aspects. Reviews - comprehensive, authoritative descriptions of any subject with the scope of the journal. These articles are usually written by opinion leaders, invited by the Editorial Board. Short reports - brief reports of data from original research. Peer review policies

Each manuscript submitted to Globalization and Health will be screened by a member of the Editorial Board. If the quality and scope are considered to be appropriate for the journal, the manuscript will then be reviewed by a senior member of the Editorial Board. Where necessary, external referees will also be invited to review the manuscript. The review process will be double blind (the reviewers and authors will not know who each other are).

Edited by Greg Martin, Globalization and Health is supported by an international Editorial Board.
