Peer Review
Based on the interest of our members, we have established a new program for internal peer-review of scientific abstracts and manuscripts. We hope that this program will be useful in increasing the number our members’ publications. Members can submit a maximum of three scientific manuscripts per year related to global health for comments and editing by our GHP members who conduct research on similar topics. The manuscripts should be final drafts ready for journal submission. Reviewers will be given one month to review the manuscripts and provide valuable feedback. We hope that each of the reviewers will review one manuscript per year. If you are interested in having your manuscript reviewed by a member of the APRU GHP, please contact Dr. Mellissa Withers at: mwithers@usc.edu
