Guidelines for authors and reviewers

Welcome to Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health's guidelines for authors and reviewers. These guidelines have been compiled to provide maximum support and assistance for authors and reviewers throughout all stages of the publication process.

More information about the articles we publish, our peer review and publication lead times, can be found on our About JECH page.

JECH uses an online submission and review system (Bench>Press) and manuscripts must be submitted via Bench>Press. Please register with Bench>Press or contact the editorial office if you are unable to submit in this way.
