AJPM Focus Call for Papers

AJPM Focus, the newest official and fully open access journal of APTR, aims to increase inclusivity in people, methods, and outcomes within the preventive medicine and public health literature. To celebrate the launch of AJPM Focus and highlight this goal, we invite manuscript submissions reflecting these themes for two special issues in 2022:

Prevention Research for Inclusivity in People, Methods, and Outcomes

Article submissions should focus on research study designs that generate original prevention evidence or synthesize such evidence. This can include basic science research demonstrably relevant to prevention (e.g., psychosocial or physiological mechanisms underlying health behavior change, epigenetics, the role of inflammation in conditions of public health significance), clinical and population health research, or the synthesis of such research.

Prevention Evidence Translation for Inclusivity in People, Methods, and Outcomes

Submissions should focus on study designs that address prevention issues at any point on the knowledge translation continuum. This can range from narrative reviews to implementation science, interdisciplinary scholarship that brings nontraditional fields into the prevention realm (e.g., human ecology, evolutionary medicine, salutogenesis, sociology), and any other study design that brings research evidence into practice or policy.

All articles submitted before December 31, 2022, will receive a 50% discount on publication costs. Additionally, many institutions have agreements in place with our publisher that enable even lower cost or free publication.

We believe that the aims of AJPM Focus align closely with those of APTR and its members and hope you will submit your work to our journal.
