In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the monkeypox outbreak being declared a ‘public health emergency of international concern’ by the WHO, we as a pioneer in open access publishing and open science feel the urgency to provide a venue for high quality research advances in the global and public health fields. At BMC we already have a strong representation and excellent standing within the public health communities, especially owing to our largest OA titleBMC Public Health及其参与的编辑和编辑委员会。通过启动这篇新的选择性期刊，我们旨在联系和支持全球全球和公共卫生社区，这将使我们能够进一步触及和影响。我们的目标是促进健康和福祉，并在全球范围内促进健康公平和政策制定。
In line with BMC’s mission,BMC Global and Public Healthwill champion open science and immediate data sharing, supported bytransparent peer review和open data policies, as well as adherence to community standards and policies. The journal is committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity; efforts are now underway to recruit an international Editorial Board, with a specific focus on Early Career Researchers, with broad and diverse expertise in all areas of global and public health to help us give a voice to the communities we aim to serve. This launch will further reinforceSpringer Nature’s strong commitmentto address the world’s challenges of sustainable development by advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are encompassed within the journal’s scope such as SDG3: Good Health and Wellbeing and SDG10: Reduced Inequalities.
We plan to open for submission in the fall of 2022, and the journal will consider important advances and influential research and opinion in all areas of global and public health, including disease epidemiology, population health, health equity, environmental and occupational health, health policy, reproductive, maternal and child health, and social determinants of health. In order to engage the communities in open discussion, we will publish a unique set of high-impact content including Research, Systematic Reviews, Registered Reports, as well as Reviews, Comments, Forums, Perspectives and Matters Arising.
