Put integrity first: Publish in PLOS Global Public Health
When you choose a PLOS journal you are putting integrity first and supporting an organization that is committed to research that is robust, reliable, and accessible to all.
PLOS Global Public Health makes interdisciplinary research of the highest ethical and methodological rigor visible and accessible to health professionals, policy-makers, and local communities, prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion in public health research in all regions of the world. We welcome qualitative and quantitative primary research in a range of topics from maternal and child health, global health security, and evidence use and policy, to infectious and non-communicable diseases and environmental health.

We do this by engaging with researchers, implementers, and policymakers from all over the world to share research that aims to improve the health and wellbeing of all. We welcome quantitative and qualitative work from the beautifully interdisciplinary world that is public health."
