Journals in public health

If you are a resourceful and interested nursing student, you will not have any problem finding articles in public health. However, if you are not, here is a hint for you: try open access.

First of all, be aware of the Online Journal of Rural Nursing and Health Care. I think it is one of the first (and maybe the first) open access nursing journal.

Second, BioMed Central now hosts a large amount of public health and systems-oriented journals. For example:

• Australia and New Zealand Health Policy
• AIDS Research and Therapy
• BMC Ecology
• BMC Health Services Research
• BMC International Health and Human Rights
• BMC Nursing
• BMC Public Health
• Conflict and Health
• Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation
• Environmental Health
• Epidemiologic Perspectives & Innovations
• Globalization and Health
• Health and Quality of Life Outcomes
• Health Research Policy and Systems
• Human Resources for Health

Third, there is PLoS as well, which publishes journals like Neglected Tropical Diseases. Their journals aren't dedicated to public health, but have some public health-related articles.
