Join us as an Editorial Board Member

We are currently in the process of refreshing our editorial board. We are recruiting Editorial Board Members with expertise across all areas of our scope. To increase our engagement with the public and community health communities, we have defined the role of our Editorial Board Members to assess manuscripts in their areas of expertise alongside their peers. Editorial Board Members will provide in-depth expertise in their field of research and will allow us to cover the breadth of the journal’s scope by selecting appropriate manuscripts for publication.

Who are we looking for?

Experts with a passion for open access, advances in scientific publishing and the drive to be an advocate for their field. We are interested in individuals with broad and diverse expertise in key areas of our scope, such as epidemiology and surveillance, health education and promotion, and community needs assessments. Experts must hold a PhD in Public Health or related field and have demonstrated knowledge and skill research and evaluation methods in public health practice.

What are the benefits and responsibilities?

This is an exciting opportunity for Editorial Board Members to contribute to this journal and to advance their expertise in public health research. Members will work together with our team on evaluating and selecting manuscripts as well as managing the peer review process and developing papers that the journal publishes. Members will also act as an advocate for the research community and serve your field by providing efficient, robust and constructive handling of papers, and promoting progressive publishing ideas. As an Editorial Board Member, individuals will further be responsible for the scientific quality of the manuscripts that you handle. You will adhere to the ethos, editorial standards, policies and scope of the journal and ensure that manuscripts are handled efficiently and appropriately.

Required commitment

An Editorial Board Member should be willing to handle a minimum of 2-3 manuscripts per month. We understand that researchers may have limited bandwidth, and we will make every effort to support you in this function to ensure this role is not too onerous for you. Editorial Board Members will be given access to training resources to help develop your editorial skills, and our in-house Editorial and administrative teams will be on hand to provide additional support where required.

Additional benefits for Editorial Board Members include:

• Increase your knowledge of your field by exposure to research, and the expertise of your peers.

• Raise your profile and advance your career by being an active participant in your field, through your work on the journal and interactions with authors, reviewers and fellow Editorial Board Members.

• Behind-the-scenes view into editorial decisions and the peer review process

• Full waiver of Article Processing Charge (APC) when publishing with any of our journals

How do I apply?

If you are interested in joining our editorial board, we are accepting applications through October 31, 2024. Editorial board members must possess a doctoral degree in public health or related field and be knowledgeable in health services research. To submit your interest, please complete the following form.
