About Global Health: Science and Practice

Global Health: Science and Practice (GHSP) is a no-fee, open access, peer-reviewed online journal aimed to improve health practice, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Our goal is to reach those who design, implement, manage, evaluate, and otherwise support health programs. We are especially interested in advancing knowledge on practical program implementation issues, with information on what programs entail and how they are implemented. GHSP is currently indexed in PubMed, PubMed Central, Web of Science Social Sciences Citation Index, Scopus, EBSCO, CABI Global Health, and the USAID Development Experience Clearinghouse (DEC). GHSP is made possible by the support of the American People through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Knowledge SUCCESS (Strengthening Use, Capacity, Collaboration, Exchange, Synthesis, and Sharing) Project.
