International Journal of School Health

Aims & Scope

International Journal of School Health (IJSH) is a peer-reviewed journal that considers any original contribution improving or shedding lights on health of school-aged children and adolescents including mental and physical health, environmental health, nutrition, etc. Evidently, a significant portion of the world population, especially in the Middle East, consist of this age group. Obviously, maintaining and promoting their health is one of the major concerns of the policy makers and scientists. IJSH, which benefits from an international editorial board, is published quarterly by Health Policy Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. IJSH publishes Review Articles, Research articles, Short Communications, Editorials, Commentaries, and Letters to the Editor. Moreover, all submissions to the IJSH undergo a fair, supportive and double anonymized peer review process. We follow the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, issued by International Committee for Medical Journal Editors  (ICMJE), as well as the  Committee on Publication Ethics  (COPE) code of conduct for editors.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
