Aims & Scope

Global Health: Science and Practice (GHSP) is a no-fee, open-access, peer-reviewed online journal that publishes evidence and insights from global health programs, especially in low- and middle-income countries. GHSP publishes all articles under the Creative Commons License 4.0, which allows authors to retain ownership of copyright for their articles and allows anyone without permission to copy, distribute, transmit, and/or adapt articles, so long as the original authors and source are cited. The contents of the articles published are the sole responsibility of the authors of the articles. GHSP is intended to be a resource for public health professionals who design, implement, manage, evaluate, and otherwise support health programs in low- and middle-income countries. We include articles on all global health topics, including but not limited to family planning, reproductive health, maternal and child health, water and sanitation, nutrition, and communicable and noncommunicable diseases. The journal embraces an interdisciplinary approach and covers a range of cross-cutting issues such as gender, quality improvement, logistics, and supply chain management.
