Globalization and Health considers the following types of articles:

• Research – reports of data from original research.

• Book reviews – short summaries of the strengths and weaknesses of a book.  They should evaluate its overall usefulness to the intended audience.

• Commentaries – short, focused and opinionated articles on any subject within   the scope of the journal. These articles are usually related to a contemporary issue, such as recent research findings, and are often written by opinion leaders invited by the Editorial Board.

• Debate articles – present an argument that is not essentially based on practical research.

Debate articles can report on all aspects of the subject including sociological and ethical aspects.

• Hypotheses – short articles presenting an untested original hypothesis backed solely by previously published results rather than any new evidence. They should outline significant progress in thinking that would also be testable.

• Methodology articles – present a new experimental method, test or procedure. The method described may either be completely new, or may offer a better version of an existing method.

The article must describe a demonstrable advance on what is currently available.
