YRE Information

Young Researcher Editorial (YRE) is an editorial series and training initiative of the International Journal of Public Health. PhD students of the Swiss School of Public Health edit the YRE series. The series welcomes submissions from PhD students from across the world! No article processing charges are due for YREs.


YREs address relevant public health topics - read more here. At time of submission, all YRE authors must be matriculated as PhD students in an accredited university. YRE authors are typically engaged in research in public health sciences, although the YRE board of editors may decide to invite PhD students from other fields. Typically, one author writes the YRE but co-authorship of up to two co-authors may be accepted. A young researcher can submit a YRE up to 12 months after the defence of the own PhD thesis.


Find published YREs here.
