EDITORIAL POLICY

 

The South Asian Journal of Population and Health (JPH) is issued twice a year from the World University of Bangladesh (WUB), ARA Centre, House No. 20, Road No. 7 Dhanmondi, Dhaka–1205, Bangladesh. The editor welcomes submissions that significantly contribute to the issues related to the population, development, women, health and environment from both inside and outside Asia. Articles that have previously been published or that are under review in another journal will not be considered for publication. Revised manuscripts that are submitted one year after the last action by the editor will be considered as new submission. Opinions in articles published in this journal are solely the responsibility of the individual contributors, and do not reflect the endorsement of JPH.

REVIEW OF MANUSCRIPTS

All manuscripts considered appropriate for the JPH are reviewed externally by professionals in the field. Submission of a manuscript to JPH is taken to indicate the author’s commitment to publish it in the journal.

An abbreviated title to be used as a running head should also be provided, which normally should not exceed 20-30 characters.
