The Journal’s mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge of global health, promote research and foster the prevention and treatment of disease worldwide by supporting open dissemination and lively discourse about a wide range of the most important topics in global health and medicine. Instructions to Authors Guide for Authors Thank you for considering the Annals of Global Health. Please use the following instructions as a guide. When formatting your manuscript for submission, also please refer to a recent issue of the Journal to view the types of articles that are accepted for each section. The editors reserve the right to move your manuscript to a section for which it is better suited. Submissions that do not conform to the Journal's specifications for word limit and/or format may be sent back to the author for correction before peer review. Although there is a designated word limit for each type of submission to AGH authors may be asked to shorten their text. AGH editors prefer tightly written articles. Longer, more scientific articles may be published online in their entirety, with only an abstract printed in the journal. There is no designated table or figure limit, but please include only the data and images that are necessary to illustrate the manuscript. All manuscripts must be submitted through the Journal's online submission and review system available at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/aogh. No paper or e-mail submissions will be accepted. Technical support for authors is available. Types of Paper Original Research Viewpoints Editorials Expert Consensus Documents, Recommendations, and White Papers Letters to the Editor ORIGINAL RESEARCH Abstract Structured abstract required (background, objective(s), methods, findings and conclusions). The maximum word count for structured abstracts is 300 words. Please make sure that your abstract concisely explains your manuscript. Word limit 5000 words, including abstract, text, and acknowledgements, but NOT including tables, references, or the title page. Please limit the number of references to approximately 40.

Electronic signatures are acceptable. Focus These manuscripts present reports of original scientific investigations on topics in global health that have not previously been published and that are not being considered for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts may be edited to improve clarity and expression. Photos/ Illustrations 300 dpi (or greater) tiff files are required for publication. If high resolution images are not available, your manuscript may be rejected for this reason. Do not use Word, Power Point or PDF format for photographs or illustrations.
