Aim & Scope

The Columbia University Journal of Global Health is Columbia's premier undergraduate-run health organization that bi-anually publishes original research, review papers, perspectives, and field notes on any topic relevant to global health, especially given the multidisciplinary nature of research addressing global health, that contributes a novel finding or unique perspective to the field. Although The Columbia University Journal of Global Health welcomes submissions from all, our primary aim is to provide a voice to student researchers, an often underrepresented group in global health discourse, and thereby requires that at least one of the authors be a student at the undergraduate or graduate levels. Ultimately, The Columbia University Journal of Global Health seeks to relay innovative solutions to interdisciplinary global health issues from a variety of academic, cultural, and geographic perspectives. The Columbia University Journal of Global Health will adhere to rigorous standards of peer-review and consider all manuscripts on the basis of ethical and methodological integrity and potential to contribute to the extant body of knowledge.
