Aims and scope
We are pleased to announce that Cogent Public Health has merged with Critical Public Health beginning with Volume 34, 2024, under the leadership of a new Editor in Chief, Joe Thomas (Institute of Health & Management, Melbourne, Australia) and the Editorial Board. This signals an exciting new phase for Cogent Public Health, extending the reach and impact of authors’ work and ensuring open access to the valuable insights of this community. We welcome submissions from authors from Cogent Public Health to join us at Critical Public Health . The journal champions high-quality articles relevant within the field of public health, aimed at all public health researchers and those working within public health services.

Our academic editors, who are all active researchers, take an objective and constructive approach to peer review. Submissions are assessed on their scientific soundness and validity and not evaluated based on subjective assessments of importance. A host of post-publication metrics will display the ongoing impact of each individual article.

Our innovative intersections feature highlights relevant articles to audiences across adjacent fields of scientific, medical and social research to ensure maximum dissemination and impact for your work.
