FREE INCLUSIVE SCIENCE

The Journal of Community Systems for Health (JCSH) is an open-access, peer-reviewed fair publication that considers articles related to community systems that create health in general, but also related to community health systems in particular.
 
We are a group of health systems and policy researchers aiming to help transform the conventions of academic publishing, and return control of the publication process to the scholarly community, following the principles of Fair Open Access (see more about Our values in "About the journal"). 
 
If you share these values, please join us in this adventure as author, reviewer or associate editor.
 

We recognize the significance of journal indexing for scholars. Our goal is to have the journal included in reputable databases, including PubMed. This is a journey with several milestones that we aim to achieve as soon as possible. Rest assured, all articles published prior to indexing will be indexed retrospectively.

For now, all published articles can be accessed via Google Scholar.

The JCSH is supporting the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA).
