Author Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in submitting to the Journal of Asian Health (JAH). JAH publishes original research articles and review articles that contribute to the understanding of social and medical determinants of health in Asian Americans and Asians worldwide. Our audience includes clinicians, researchers, trainees, and community members interested in health research specific to Asians.

Submissions are examined by the editorial staff, who choose at least two expert reviewers to evaluate the manuscript using a double-blind review process. Both clinical and basic research articles are subject to statistical review as appropriate. Provisional or final acceptance for publication in JAH is based on originality, scientific content, and topical balance of the journal. Decisions are communicated by email, generally within six weeks of submission. All rebuttals and requests for information on JAH’s decisions on manuscripts must be submitted via email to jah@journalofasianhealth.org.
