Introdution

Journal of Oral Health and Oral Epidemiology (JOHOE) is a seasonal, open access, peer-reviewed journal, which serves as an international and interdisciplinary setting for the dissemination of oral health and oral epidemiology researches. It gathers individual specialties from different fields, notably oral health, oral epidemiology, and dentistry as a dynamic academic mix.

All published articles will be assigned DOI provided by Cross Ref. Abstracts and full texts of all articles published by JOHOE are freely accessible after publication.

JOHOE is intended to enhance communication among public health dentistry researchers, dentists, and other types of allied health professionals in the research and oral healthcare delivery systems. Geographical coverage including coverage of the poorest countries and low- and middle-income countries is a priority at the JOHOE. 

All submissions to the JOHOE undergo a fair, supportive, and double-blind peer-review process. We follow the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, issued by the International Committee for Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).


Focus

Journal of Oral Health & Oral Epidemiology is the official journal of the Oral and Dental Diseases Research Center of Kerman University of Medical Sciences. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, and case reports dealing with oral health and epidemiology. Papers in any of the following fields will be considered for publication: oral health, oral and dental treatment research, oral and dental epidemiology, as well as any issues regarding the improvement of oral and dental treatment.

 


Editorial Policy

JOHOE prevailing criteria for articles include the originality, high academic quality, and genuine interest to a wide international audience. The journal editorial team encourages the authors to pay close attention to the factors that will increase the likelihood of acceptance. Manuscripts that fall short of setting out the international debates and policy lessons are more likely to be rejected or returned to the authors for redrafting prior to being reviewed. Researchers who write about a specific oral health problem, intervention, or service should discuss the relevance of the analysis for the broader health system.

JOHOE supports the Open Access initiative. Abstracts and full texts (PDF format) of all articles published by JOHOE are freely accessible to everyone immediately upon publication. Reusing and publishing JOHOE published articles is permitted by following Creative Commons user license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/.

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
