Call for papers for Primary Prevention Insights from Dr Jun Ma

On behalf of the Editorial Board, I would like to invite you to submit your recent work for publication in Primary Prevention Insights – a new peer-reviewed open-access journal published by Libertas Academica.

The burden of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancers, is increasing rapidly worldwide. These diseases are largely preventable non-communicable conditions associated with lifestyle and behaviors. Primary prevention is considered the most cost-effective, affordable and sustainable course of action to cope with the epidemic of chronic diseases. Primary prevention involves preventing predictable and interrelated problems, protecting existing states of health and healthy functioning, and promoting psychosocial wellness for identified populations of people.

Primary Prevention Insights
is devoted to publishing high quality scholarly work in all content areas of primary prevention of disease and mental disorders and, as such, will advance understanding of primary prevention theory, research and practice. We publish original empirical research, reviews, and commentaries.

What is the advantage to you of publishing in Primary Prevention Insights?
  • Full open access: everyone can read your article and you retain copyright in it
  • Pubmed indexing for NIH-funded research
  • Publishing decision within two weeks of submission
  • Your paper will not be rejected due to lack of space and will be published immediately on acceptance
  • Prompt and fair peer review from two expert peer reviewers
  • Frequent updates on your paper’s status
  • Internationally respected editorial board and friendly responsive staff
Aims and scope:

Primary Prevention Insights is a journal that publishes papers in all areas of primary prevention of disease and mental disorders.

What a previous author said:
"The publishing process of this journal was a most pleasant and productive experience. I was particularly impressed with the regular updates of the progress of my submission. Many other journals receive a submission and authors may not hear anything for months. I appreciate your notification policy."
In summary:

The advantages of a younger journal such as Primary Prevention Insights are numerous but in essence allow us a greater flexibility and responsiveness to authors and readers that older journals cannot match.

Next steps:

Yours sincerely,
Dr Jun Ma

Editor-in-Chief
Primary Prevention Insights
