About the Journal of Preventive Medicine And Care
An internationally respected, peer-reviewed open access journal dedicated to advancing population health through evidence-based prevention strategies, epidemiological research, and public health policy analysis.
Population health science demands rapid, credible dissemination of findings that inform policy and practice. JPMC serves as a responsive publishing partner for research teams addressing urgent public health challenges - from infectious disease surveillance to chronic disease prevention and health systems evaluation. Our editorial board comprises epidemiologists, biostatisticians, public health physicians, health economists, and policy analysts who curate submissions delivering translational value for diverse stakeholders.
Each manuscript receives comprehensive editorial assessment. Statistical reviewers evaluate analytical robustness, ethics editors ensure regulatory compliance, and subject experts interrogate methodological validity, reproducibility, and policy relevance. Accepted articles are enhanced with structured abstracts, data visualization, and discoverability metadata to support citation growth and policy integration.
Beyond publication, JPMC provides post-publication amplification through DOI registration, database indexing, search optimization, and strategic dissemination to maximize research impact on public health practice and policy.
JPMC welcomes manuscripts that advance understanding of disease patterns, prevention effectiveness, and health systems performance at the population level. We intentionally cultivate geographic and methodological diversity to reflect global public health realities.
