About the Journal

The Interdisciplinary Journal of Epidemiology and Public Health (iJEPH) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that welcomes articles on different subjects, including epidemiology, public health, and preventive medicine.  All the articles are published in English. 

The journal follows the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) (http://www.icmje.org/) and all the ethical considerations entailed in both editing and publication processes (http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/).  Additionally, it adheres to the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) to guarantee the transparency of the editorial process.  Moreover, regarding the responsibilities of each member of both the editorial committee and the editorial process, it is taken into account the journal's independence from our university and any other public or state institution concerning publishing decisions (http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/journal-owners-and-editorial-freedom.html).

All the articles submitted to the journal are evaluated for the detection of plagiarism, and they are evaluated by external national and international peers, as well as by suitable professors of our institution.  This process is based on the principles established by ICMJE for peer review (http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/responsibilities-in-the-submission-and-peer-peview-process.html).
