Speakers: 

Cheryl Merzel DrPH, MPH

Jesus Ramirez-Valles, PhD, MPH

Jeanine Robitaille, MS, CHES

Kathleen Roe DrPh, MPH

Practitioners and researchers in public health and the health professions often find it challenging to find the right publication venue for their work. In this session, the editorial leadership teams from the three SOPHE journals, Health Education & Behavior, Health Promotion Practice, and Pedagogy in Health Promotion, share expertise, and insights to help you find the best journal “home” for disseminating the important work that you do. The interactive panel will enable participants to engage with editorial team members, who have experience in and passion for supporting researchers, practitioners, and educators in developing and publishing their work. The editorial teams will highlight the importance of understanding a journal’s mission and scope, article format options, and submission and peer review processes. The editors will share advice on best practices for a successful submission.
