Proposed Special Issue
Lead a focused collection in Public Health International (JPHI).
Propose a theme that moves the field forward
Special issues at Public Health International highlight fast moving topics within population health, epidemiology, prevention science, health systems, and global health policy. We invite proposals from leaders who can curate high quality manuscripts and coordinate a focused research narrative.
A well designed special issue can accelerate collaboration, standardize methods, and establish new research directions.
- Working title and scope with 5 to 8 key themes or questions.
- Rationale explaining why the topic is timely and impactful.
- Guest editor team with expertise and institutional affiliations.
- Proposed timeline including call for papers, review, and publication windows.
- Target author communities and a short outreach plan.

Realistic timelines and sufficient editorial capacity.
Quality signals
Potential to attract rigorous, high impact submissions.
Consistency in publishing standards improves discoverability and trust. We emphasize transparent methods, structured metadata, and clear author contributions to ensure that articles remain valuable long after publication.
Authors can strengthen impact by using specific keywords, well organized figures, and precise abstracts. These elements improve how search engines and library systems interpret the article.
Our policies are designed to balance openness with responsible stewardship of data and participant privacy. When restrictions apply, we encourage clear data availability statements to preserve transparency.
For complex projects, we recommend early planning around permissions, ethical approvals, and repository selection. This reduces delays at the final publication stage.
Readers benefit most when conclusions are carefully framed and limitations are explicit. Clear statements of scope help the community apply findings appropriately.
If your institution has specific compliance requirements, we can provide supporting documentation and guidance upon request.
