Archives of Public Health now published by BioMed Central

Formerly known as Belgian Archives of Social Medicine, Hygiene, Occupational Health and Forensic Medicine, Archives of Public Health is now publishing with BioMed Central. Editors-in-Chief Professor Herman Van Oyen and Professor Olivier Bruyère will continue to publish articles that ‘compile public health knowledge for action’ as they had with their previous publisher.

“We expect authors to take the time to think and to highlight in their manuscript the implications of the findings for public health policy, public health practice and/or public health research” they say in their inaugural editorial for the journal.

Archives of Public Health will be an important information source on applied research in all aspects of public health and welcomes articles on health services research, health economics, community interventions and epidemiological studies dealing with international comparisons. The journal also focuses on determinants of inequality in health, and the environmental, behavioral, social, demographic and occupational correlates of health and disease.

Archives of Public Health is the official journal of the  Belgian Association of Public Health and is an exciting addition to BioMed Central’s public health portfolio. To receive regular updates of the content, sign up for article alerts.
