About Journal of Public Health International
Advancing Population Health Through Rigorous Epidemiological Research and Evidence-Based Policy
Journal of Public Health International (JPHI) (ISSN 2641-4538) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing population health science through rigorous epidemiological research, disease surveillance methods, statistical modeling, and health policy analysis. We provide an internationally recognized platform where epidemiologists, biostatisticians, public health researchers, and policy analysts share evidence-based insights that shape health interventions and inform data-driven decision-making at community, national, and global levels.
Since establishment, JPHI has maintained unwavering commitment to scientific excellence, methodological rigor, and rapid dissemination of impactful population health research. Our efficient peer review processes, comprehensive indexing in major academic databases including Google Scholar, and growing impact metrics position JPHI as a trusted venue for scholars publishing original epidemiological studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, surveillance reports, and policy analyses that measurably advance public health practice and population outcomes globally.
Our Vision: Evidence-Driven Population Health Improvement
JPHI envisions a world where robust epidemiological evidence transcends geographical borders and socioeconomic barriers to inform health interventions that demonstrably improve population outcomes. We strive to be a leading international forum for innovative public health science-where groundbreaking surveillance methodologies, disease modeling approaches, health systems research, risk factor analyses, and intervention effectiveness studies converge to address the most pressing population health challenges of our time.
By fostering rigorous scientific dialogue among epidemiologists, biostatisticians, health economists, environmental health scientists, infectious disease specialists, data scientists, and public policy experts, we catalyze evidence-informed action that reduces health disparities, strengthens surveillance systems, enhances outbreak response capacity, and promotes health equity as a fundamental principle of population health practice globally.
Our commitment to open access publishing ensures critical epidemiological knowledge reaches decision-makers, public health practitioners, surveillance teams, and researchers in resource-limited settings-democratizing access to scientific evidence that can prevent disease, mitigate health threats, and improve well-being across diverse populations worldwide.
