Global Health: Science and Practice is a fully open-access peer-reviewed online journal that is free for readers and authors. We do not charge any fees to authors to submit or publish an article. Intended to be a resource for public health professionals who design, implement, manage, evaluate, and otherwise support health programs in low- and middle-income countries, GHSP fills an important gap in the scholarly literature for evidence and experience from global health programs implemented under real-world conditions, with specifics on the “how” of implementation—lessons and detail that are often buried in gray literature or not documented at all.
GHSP has an impact factor of 2.5 and is published 6 times a year (February, April, June, August, October, and December).
