Abstract

of the journal to the IUHPE will be clearly stated on the cover of Global Health Promotion. As regular readers are aware, in recent times the journal has undergone a visual face lift and the journal’s profile and format have also undergone change. There will be a few more format adjustments in the future, to improve the efficiency of the publication process, but no additional changes to the publication profile are planned in the near future. Those who submit articles for publication in Global Health Promotion will soon encounter Sagetrack, a web-based peer review and submission system powered by ScholarOne’s Manuscript Central. With the switch to Sagetrack and format changes to be accomplished during the course of 2009, we anticipate a period of little change thereafter, with two important exceptions. With Global Health Promotion as a SAGE journal, we anticipate steady growth in the number of subscribers and in the number of articles submitted for publication. A positive trend is already clear – in the first six months of 2008, we have experienced a 400% increase in the rate of submissions compared with 2007! Global Health Promotion is the membership journal of the IUHPE, and one of a family of IUHPE journals that includes Health Education Research, Health Promotion International, Critical Public Health, International Journal of Prisoner Health the International Journal of Public Health and the International Journal of Mental Health Promotion. These affiliations produce synergy for the IUHPE and for the journals. Each journal has a unique character and publications profile, and the relationship amongst the editorial staffs is accordingly collaborative, not competitive. Global Health Promotion is unique in several ways. It must be responsive to the communications needs of the IUHPE, including prioritising the publication of material that helps the organisation communicate to the membership. Global Health Promotion must also endeavour to At its meeting in Cairo in June of this year, the IUHPE Board of Trustees approved a name change for this journal, from Promotion & Education, to Global Health Promotion, effective as of the first number that will be published in 2009. This change prompts reasonable questions that are addressed in this editorial:
