EHP International Program

Mission Statement

Through its International Program Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP) seeks to expand the quality of and access to scientific information around the world. We do this by:

  • disseminating critical environmental health science information to research scientists, health practitioners, and policy makers;
  • initiating and participating in training and guidance programs for scientific journals in developing countries to help them reach their full potential for high-quality scholarly publishing;
  • sharing EHP content for translation into other languages; and
  • partnering with international scientific journals to bring scientific information to the broadest possible audience.

Global Access to EHP

Today EHP publishes much of the most important information coming out of environmental health research. With our success comes the responsibility to share this critical information with the global community. more . . .

Capacity Building

In the case of scientific journals, capacity building often involves training and mentorship to improve editorial and administrative functions and processes. Such improvements, in turn, enable a journal to better attract and disseminate information that can improve human health by raising awareness of emerging issues as well as by inciting debate and reflection. In the words of the old maxim, capacity building is teaching a man to fish. more . . .

Translated Content

To help EHP fulfill its mission of disseminating scientific information not only to scientists but also to policy makers and an informed lay public, we provide translations of selected EHP content. more . . .

Journal Partnerships

Marketing benefits include an enhanced credibility of each partner—both journals benefit from increased visibility by providing reciprocal presence and recognition on websites and in advertisements. more . . .
