public health journal
A public health journal is a scientific journal devoted to the field of public health, including epidemiology, biostatistics, and health care (including medicine, nursing and related fields). Public health journals, like most scientific journals, are peer-reviewed. Public health journals are commonly published by health organizations and societies, such as the ''Bulletin of the World Health Organization'' or the ''Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health'' (published by the British Medical Association). Many others are published by a handful of large publishing corporations that includes Elsevier, Wolters Kluwer, Wiley-Blackwell, Springer Science+Business Media, and Informa, each of which has many imprints (which are brands named after former independent publishers that were merged or acquired). Many societies partner with such corporations to handle the work of producing their journals.
The increase in public health research in recent decades has seen a rapid increase in the number of articles and journals. As such, many public health journals have emerged with a specialized focus, such as in the area of policy (e.g. ''Journal of Public Health Policy''), a specific region or country of the world (e.g. ''Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health'', ''Pan American Journal of Public Health'' or ''Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal''), a specific intervention/practice area (e.g. ''Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention''), or other particular focus (e.g. ''Human Resources for Health'').
== Scope ==
Public health journals often indicate their target audience as being interdisciplinary, including health care professionals, public health decision-makers and researchers. A main objective is to support evidence-based policy and evidence-based practice in public health.〔World Health Organization.

(About ''International Journal for Equity in Health''. ) Accessed 21 July 2011.〕〔BioMed Central. (About ''BMC Public Health''. ) Accessed 21 July 2011.〕 In contrast, medical journals (e.g. ''The Lancet'') typically focus on reaching medical professionals as their main audience, although the boundaries between these two categories are increasingly blurry.
It has been argued that some medical and public health journals are "filled with increasingly complex science" which depends upon advanced statistics and research methods that health care providers may have difficulty understanding. In response they have turned towards publishing "articles that are more journalism than science" such as reviews, news, and educational material.〔 However, science is what attracts major attention and leads institutions and libraries to purchase subscriptions.〔
