Instructions to Authors
Submission Policy
The goal of AJMH is to publish articles that are relevant to men's health. Our readers are clinicians, researchers, educators, scholars, and theorist from multiple disciplines. Authors who have questions about the appropriateness of a manuscript for publication in this journal are encouraged to communicate with the Editor prior to submission.
Manuscripts that contain original material will be considered for publication. Submission of an article implies that it is unpublished work and that the essential content of the article, including tables and figures, has not been and will not be submitted for publication elsewhere before a publication decision is made by this journal.
Secondary publication may be considered when a paper, in the judgment of the Editors, is intended for a different group of readers. Authors will be required to obtain approval from the editors of both journals before manuscripts are reviewed and published. Authors should make complete disclosures to the Editors of any previous submissions and reports of the material or electronic dissemination of the findings that might be considered redundant or duplicate publication. If redundant or duplicate publication is attempted or occurs without such notification, immediate manuscript rejection may occur or, if the article has been published, the Editor will print a notice of redundant or duplicate publication in the first issue of AJMH published following verification of the failure to notify.
The Editor will review all manuscripts before assigning them to experienced external peer-reviewers. Final publication decisions will remain the responsibility of the Editor. Articles accepted for publication are copy-edited and typeset. Proofs are sent to the corresponding author for final review. The corresponding author is responsible for the entire content of the copyedited article. Extensive changes to the proofs, other than printers?errors, will be charged to the author(s) and may delay publication. Accepted manuscripts become the sole property of AJMH and may not be published elsewhere without written consent from Sage Publications.
AJMH encourages international submissions. International articles submitted for publication must be written in English with appropriate utilization of grammar and syntactical presentation.
