International Journal of School Health

International Journal of School Health (IJSH) is a peer-reviewed journal that considers any original contribution improving or shedding lights on health of school-aged children and adolescents including mental and physical health, environmental health, nutrition, etc. Evidently, a significant portion of the world population, especially in the Middle East, consist of this age group. Obviously, maintaining and promoting their health is one of the major concerns of the policy makers and scientists. IJSH, which benefits from an international editorial board, is published quarterly by Health Policy Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. IJSH publishes Review Articles, Research articles, Short Communications, Editorials, Commentaries, and Letters to the Editor.

Moreover, all submissions to the IJSH undergo a fair, supportive and double anonymized peer review process. We follow the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, issued by International Committee for Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), as well as the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) code of conduct for editors.

Announcement:

To facilitate a speedy turn-around when a rapid decision is required, International Journal of School Health offers a review model in which selected peer reviewers may be paid to deliver high-quality and speedy peer-review reports. This is optional - if you do not wish to pay for a fast-track peer review process, just submit your paper normally as described before in the instruction for authors. If you opt for fast track review, you are guaranteed: a rapid editorial decision and peer-review comments within 10 working days after submission and payment of the fee.

Review will no guarantee a manuscript to be accepted but it makes the judging process faster than the routine review process.

Fast Track Fee: 2,000,000 Rials
