About the journal
Public Health Ethics invites submission of papers on any topic that is relevant for ethical reflection about public health practice and theory. Our aim is to publish readable papers of high scientific quality which will stimulate debate and discussion about ethical issues relating to all aspects of public health. Our main criteria for grading manuscripts include originality and potential impact, quality of philosophical analysis, and relevance to debates in public health ethics and practice. Manuscripts are accepted for publication on the understanding that they have been submitted solely to Public Health Ethics and that they have not been previously published either in whole or in part. Authors may not submit papers that are under consideration for publication elsewhere, and, if an author decides to offer a submitted paper to another journal, the paper must be withdrawn from Public Health Ethics before the new submission is made.
The editorial office will make every effort to deal with submissions to the journal as quickly as possible. All papers will be acknowledged on receipt by email and will receive preliminary editorial review within 2 weeks. Papers of high interest will be sent out for external review. Authors will normally be notified of acceptance, rejection, or need for revision within 8 weeks of submission. Contributors will be provided with electronic access to their proof via email; corrections should be returned within 48 hours.

ARTICLE TYPES
Public Health Ethics publishes material in the form of editorials, original articles, case discussions, case commentaries, discussion papers, review articles and letters to the editor.
Editorials. Editorials are solicited by or written by the Editors and are generally related to a paper or papers published in the same issue. Length and format of the editorial will be agreed upon between Editors and author.
Original Papers. Original papers should generally be no longer than 8,000 words, and most are expected to be in the range of 5,000 to 6,000 words. The Editors reserve the right to make literary corrections. When drafting your paper, please remember that the journal has a worldwide and interdisciplinary readership. Write clearly and explain any technical terms.
Case For Discussion. The journal welcomes short papers which outline and discuss a case or dilemma in public health practice. Cases For Discussion are normally 1000-2000 words. If such a paper is accepted, it will be first published on the PHE websites, and scholars in public health, ethics and/or law are invited to submit commentaries.
Case Commentary. This is a short discussion of a case. Case discussions can be up to 1500 words, and will be published in the same issue as the case presentation.
Discussion Paper. Discussion papers are written in response to articles published in PHE or other journals. A discussion should be focused and not be longer that 3000 words.
Review Article. A review article (maximum 10,000 words) presents an extensive overview of the ethical issues related to a particular practice, methodology or phenomenon in public health work. A review article presents the state of the art of the topic as basis for a systematic discussion of ethical questions raised. Ideally such an article would be written jointly by an expert on that topic and a philosopher, ethicist or lawyer. Possible topics for review articles are: occupational medicine, newborn screening, functional foods, health care in times of disasters, or specific vaccination programs. Authors who are interested in submitting a review article are requested to contact the editors beforehand.
Letter to the Editor. Letters are welcome and will be published if appropriate. They should be no longer than 500 words and a maximum of five references; one table or figure is acceptable if absolutely necessary. Letters should discuss normative issues raised in work in the journal.

The title page of the article should include the following information (where applicable):
- Article type
- Manuscript title
- Running title
- Names and affiliations of all contributing authors
- Full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and email address
- Summary: please provide a short summary of 200 words or less. The summary should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references

Section headings
First-, second-, third- and fourth-order headings within the manuscript should be clearly distinguishable, but not numbered.
Notes
Notes should be indicated in the text by superscript numbers and should appear at the end of the article in numerical order, before the list of References.
References
Authors are asked to pay particular attention to the accuracy and correct presentation of references. The Harvard system of references, giving the surname of the author(s) and year of publication in the text, followed by specific page numbers after a direct quotation, should be used. In-text lists of references should be in chronological order. A reference list should appear at the end of the manuscript and should include only those references cited in the text. References should be double spaced, arranged alphabetically by author, and chronologically for each author. Publications for the same author appearing in a single year should use a, b, c etc. Each listed reference should begin with the authors' surnames followed by initials, the year, and the title of the work. Then, for a journal article, the journal name, volume number, issue number, and inclusive page numbers should follow, while, for a book, the title, the editor (if applicable), the place of publication, and publisher should be stated.

FUNDING STATEMENT
Details of all funding sources for the work in question should be given in a separate section entitled 'Funding'. This should appear before the 'Acknowledgements' section.
The following rules should be followed:
- The sentence should begin: ‘This work was supported by …’
- The full official funding agency name should be given, i.e. ‘National Institutes of Health’, not ‘NIH’ (full RIN-approved list of UK funding agencies) Grant numbers should be given in brackets as follows: ‘[grant number xxxx]’
- Multiple grant numbers should be separated by a comma as follows: ‘[grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]’
- Agencies should be separated by a semi-colon (plus ‘and’ before the last funding agency)
- Where individuals need to be specified for certain sources of funding the following text should be added after the relevant agency or grant number 'to [author initials]'.
An example is given here: ‘This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health [AA123456 to C.S., BB765432 to M.H.]; and the Alcohol & Education Research Council [hfygr667789].
CONFLICT OF INTEREST DECLARATION
At the point of submission, the policy of Public Health Ethics requires that each author reveal any financial interests or connections, direct or indirect, or other situations that might raise the question of bias in the work reported or the conclusions, implications, or opinions stated - including pertinent commercial or other sources of funding for the individual author(s) or for the associated department(s) or organization(s), personal relationships, or direct academic competition. When considering whether you should declare a conflicting interest or connection please consider the conflict of interest test: Is there any arrangement that would embarrass you or any of your co-authors if it was to emerge after publication and you had not declared it?
As an integral part of the online submission process, Corresponding authors are required to confirm whether they or their co-authors have any conflicts of interest to declare, and to provide details of these. If the Corresponding author is unable to confirm this information on behalf of all co-authors, the authors in question will then be required to submit a completed Conflict of Interest form to the Editorial Office. This information must be provided at the point of submission. It is the Corresponding author’s responsibility to ensure that all authors adhere to this policy.
If the manuscript is published, Conflict of Interest information will be communicated in a statement in the published paper.
LANGUAGE EDITING
Particularly if English is not your first language, before submitting your manuscript you may wish to have it edited for language. This is not a mandatory step, but may help to ensure that the academic content of your paper is fully understood by journal editors and reviewers. Language editing does not guarantee that your manuscript will be accepted for publication. If you would like information about one such service please click here. There are other specialist language editing companies that offer similar services and you can also use any of these. Authors are liable for all costs associated with such services.
COPYRIGHT
It is a condition of publication in the journal that authors grant an exclusive licence form to Oxford University Press. This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In assigning copyright, authors may use their own material in other publications provided that the journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance.
