Critical Public Health

Journal Title：Critical Public Health

The Journal of Critical Public Health (JCPH) is an academic journal that emerged in a specific context. The background can be traced back to 2021, when members of the editorial board of the internationally renowned peer-reviewed journal Critical Public Health announced their collective resignation in protest of publisher Taylor&Francis' shift to an author pay model and high article processing fees (APCs). This incident has attracted widespread attention from academia and prompted members of the editorial board to decide to independently create a new non-profit open access journal, the Journal of Critical Public Health.

As an emerging academic journal, JCPH has a wide range of research interests in the fields of public, environmental, and occupational health, as well as biomedical and social sciences. It encourages interdisciplinary research, promotes academic innovation, and is committed to advancing the theoretical and practical development in the field of public health. Through JCPH, researchers can share the latest research findings, explore hot issues in the field of public health, and jointly address global public health challenges.

《批判性公共卫生杂志》（Journal of Critical Public Health，简称JCPH）是在特定背景下应运而生的一本学术期刊。其背景可追溯至2021年，当时国际著名同行评议期刊《批判性公共卫生》（Critical Public Health）的编辑委员会成员宣布集体辞职，以此抗议出版商Taylor & Francis将商业模式转变为作者付费模式，并收取高额的文章处理费（APC）。这一事件引发了学界的广泛关注，并促使编委会成员决定独立创建一本新的非营利性开放获取期刊，即《批判性公共卫生杂志》。

作为一本新兴的学术期刊，JCPH在公共、环境和职业健康，以及生物医学和社会科学等领域具有广泛的研究兴趣。它鼓励跨学科研究，促进学术创新，致力于推动公共卫生领域的理论与实践发展。通过JCPH，研究者可以分享最新的研究成果，探讨公共卫生领域的热点问题，共同应对全球公共卫生挑战。
