About the Journal

The Journal of Critical Public Health (JCPH) is a fully peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes empirical research and debate. We consider submissions from any discipline or perspective, so long as authors engage critically with the theory, practice or implications of public health.  We recognise that both 'public health' and 'critical scholarship' are contested  concepts.  We are particularly interested in submissions which: take power seriously; provide innovative perspectives; have implications for policy and practice; and/or question taken-for-granted concepts.   

The journal is published by the international Critical Public Health Network in Edinburgh, UK (https://cphn.net/), ISSN 3033-3997. 

VACATION ANNOUNCEMENT: Please note that Journal of Critical Public Health is on vacation until the week of August 12, 2024. The journal's contact email address will be monitored on an occasional basis but please expect a delayed response during this period. Authors may still submit their manuscripts but they will not be processed until the week of August 12.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support as we take a much needed break after a successful first year of our new community, non-profit journal.
