Instructions to authors
Health Promotion International will be published online-only from May 2020. All print editions will be discontinued.
Scope
Health Promotion International contains refereed original articles, reviews, and debate articles on major themes and innovations in the health promotion field. In line with the remits of the series of global conferences on health promotion the journal expressly invites contributions from sectors beyond health. These may include education, employment, government, the media, industry, environmental agencies, and community networks. As the thought journal of the international health promotion movement we seek in particular theoretical, methodological and activist advances to the field. Thus, the journal provides a unique focal point for articles of high quality that describe not only theories and concepts, research projects and policy formulation, but also planned and spontaneous activities, organizational change, as well as social and environmental development.
Publication Ethics
Plagiarism is unacceptable in scholarship and international peer reviewed publishing. HPI takes every possible step to detect and sanction plagiarism and adheres to the guidelines issued by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
HPI uses Crossref Similarity Check (powered by iThenticate) to screen the submitted content of all manuscripts for originality and to detect plagiarism. HPI investigates this further if the software raises any concerns. If plagiarism is detected, the manuscript may be returned to the author/s for rewriting or may be rejected. Furthermore, and in line with COPE guidelines, the journal may also raise the matter with the author(s) place of employment.
Note that Plagiarism includes:
copying text, ideas or data from other sources without proper attribution
reusing text from your own previous publications without attribution
using an idea from another source with slightly modified language without attribution
Submission of manuscripts
General Submission Information
Journal sections: The Journal publishes the following types of manuscripts:
Original articles - describing empirical research covering the broad field of health promotion
Perspectives – advancing innovation in health promotion research and scholarship through (systematic) review, theoretical argument and/or methodological reflection
Debate – discussing opportunities and discourse in the field through systematic and conceptually sound arguments related to a body of knowledge published in the Journal or elsewhere
Letters – focused scholarly responses to material published in the Journal
Original Articles, Perspectives and Debate have a limit of 7000 words (see below for offsets of tables, figures against word lengths), letters up to 500 words should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief before submission.
Format: Manuscripts are blind reviewed, therefore please prepare two separate documents:
an anonymised manuscript with any information or citations that reveal the identity of the author(s) removed, for example names of authors, acknowledgments, ethics information, funding information; and
a separate cover page stating the title of the submission, the name(s) and email address(es) of the author(s) [and where there is more than one author, the name and email address of the author designated to receive correspondence regarding the submission (the ‘corresponding author’)], and the section of the journal for which the submission is intended. Please add names of authors, acknowledgments, ethics information and any funding information here.
Information and citations that reveal the identity of the author(s) may be reinserted in the manuscript after review.
Language: Manuscripts must be clearly and concisely written in English. The Editors reserve the right to reject without review those that cannot adequately be assessed because of a poor standard of English. Authors whose first language is not English are encouraged to have their manuscript checked by a native English speaker. If you have difficulty with this you can obtain further help and information.
Title: No longer than 15 words; also include the country where research was undertaken in the title (if relevant). Note that the title influences the impact of your work and the number of readers that it will attract. If you want your article to come up in search results, you should make sure the title summarises your work, addresses the right audience, is concise and illustrates the main topics of your research.
Key words: Please include a minimum of two words “key words” to aid literature searching, and a maximum of four from the pop-up list in the submission system.Remember that key word listings determine (a) the editors’ choice of peer reviewers, and (b) retrievability by your colleagues. Please do not choose too many esoteric or unique key words.
Word count: Manuscript length not to exceed 7000 words (excluding reference list).
Variations can be made to the length of these individual sections (except the abstract which must be 250 words or less AND THE LAY SUMMARY WHICH MUST BE 200 WORDS OR LESS) but the total word count must not exceed 7000 words. Please state clearly on the manuscript the breakdown of the total word count; over-length articles will not be considered. Note that all tables and figures will be deemed to represent approximately 500 words each, due to the space required if manuscript is published.
Online supplementary materials: HPI and OUP allow for supplementary materials (e.g., intervention tools; illustrative policy documents; video; etc.) to be placed online and connected to online published paper content.
Correspondence: The Editorial Office will correspond directly with authors on the acceptability of their papers.
Unique submissions: Authors may not submit manuscripts that are under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Online submission: Manuscripts must be submitted online via the online submission system. Please see further submission details below.
Research quality parameters: in order to secure the highest possible research integrity we ask that you provide information on ethics clearance (where applicable and pertinent to the location of your research institution and the place of data collection); on quality standards such as PRISMA for systematic reviews, CONSORT for trials; and on standard reporting parameters, e.g., for qualitative research.
Graphical abstracts: In addition to the text abstract, authors are encouraged to submit a graphical abstract or video abstract as part of the article if they wish to do so,. The graphical/video abstract should clearly summarize the focus and findings of the article, and will be published as part of the article online and in PDF. The graphical/video abstract should be submitted for peer review as a separate file, selecting the appropriate file-type designation in the journal’s online submission system. The file should be clearly named, e.g. graphical_abstract.tiff, video_abstract.mp4. See this page for guidance on appropriate file format and resolution for graphics and videos. Please ensure graphical abstracts are in landscape format.
Availability of Data and Materials
Where ethically feasible, Health Promotion International strongly encourages authors to make all data and software code on which the conclusions of the paper rely available to readers. We suggest that data be presented in the main manuscript or additional supporting files, or deposited in a public repository whenever possible. For information on general repositories for all data types, and a list of recommended repositories by subject area, please see Choosing where to archive your data.
Data Citation
Health Promotion International supports the Force 11 Data Citation Principles and requires that all publicly available datasets be fully referenced in the reference list with an accession number or unique identifier such as a digital object identifier (DOI). Data citations should include the minimum information recommended by DataCite:
[dataset]* Authors, Year, Title, Publisher (repository or archive name), Identifier
*The inclusion of the [dataset] tag at the beginning of the citation helps us to correctly identify and tag the citation. This tag will be removed from the citation published in the reference list.
ORCID
Health Promotion International requires submitting authors to provide an ORCID iD at submission to the journal. More information on ORCID and the benefits of using an ORCID iD is available. If you do not already have an ORCID iD, you can register for free via the ORCID website.
Preprint Policy
Authors retain the right to make an Author’s Original Version (preprint) available through various channels, and this does not prevent submission to the journal. For further information see our Online Licensing, Copyright and Permissions policies. If accepted, the authors are required to update the status of any preprint, including your published paper’s DOI, as described on our Author Self-Archiving policy page.
Lay summary
Authors of all article types are encouraged to submit a lay summary as part of the article, in addition to the main text abstract. The lay summary should clearly summarize the focus and findings of the article for non-expert readers, and will be published as part of the article online and in PDF. The lay summary should be submitted for peer review as part of the main manuscript file, under the heading ‘Lay summary’, before the article’s main text. The lay summary should be no longer than 200 words. As with a main abstract, avoid citations and define any abbreviations.
Preparing Documents for Submission
Please submit manuscripts in Word (.doc) form.
Enter text in the style and order of the Journal (see "References" section below).
Insert figure captions and tables at the end of the file.
Indicate in the text where tables, diagrams, figures, graphs or illustrations would be most appropriately placed by inserting a hard return, caption between square brackets (e.g., [insert - Figure 1. Proportion of GDP spent on health expenditures in Pacific Islands - here]) and another hard return.
Save any tables, diagrams, figures, graphs or illustrations generated electronically as separate files and not embedded into the text file. Tables must be in editable format (e.g. Excel). Figures can be in editable or image format.
Type headings in the style of the Journal.
Where possible use Times for the text font and Symbol for the Greek and special characters. Please use the word processing formatting features to indicate Bold, Italic, Greek, Maths, Superscript and Subscript characters. Do not format your manuscript in the final print style of the Journal (i.e., in columns).
Once your manuscript is ready for submission, please follow the online submission instructions.
Figure Submission
Images on disk can be accepted in Adobe PhotoShop compatible formats. Images should be saved in TIFF format.
Image resolution should be a minimum of 300 dpi.
Review process
Upon submission your manuscript will be assessed by the Editorial Office to meet the scope of the Journal and specific submission requirements. If suitable for the Journal the manuscript will be assigned to an Associate Editor who will manage the review process. You will be able to indicate a preference for an Associate Editor. The manuscript will be sent to at least two reviewers. You will be able to indicate a preference for reviewers, and for non-preferred reviewers. Preferred reviewers need to be independent and objective peers. Colleagues, supervisors or subordinates from the same workplace as yours are deemed inappropriate and any such suggestion will impact on the likelihood of progressing manuscripts through the review process.
The Journal will only make publication recommendations based on at least two reviews returned. This is the case for every stage of the review process and at any revision phase.
Reviewers volunteer their time and expertise to the Journal and we greatly appreciate this. They will be invited to submit reviews within a reasonable time (normally 2-4 weeks) but busy schedules and competing commitments may cause delays. The Editorial Office of the Journal will make every effort to follow up with delayed reviewer responses.
Occasionally we will be unable to secure appropriate reviewers within a reasonable time. If, following our reasonable effort, no appropriate reviews have been secured we will communicate this to you and discuss possibilities of rejection, withdrawal or resubmission. At this stage you may be given an opportunity to suggest new reviewers.
References
Reference list:
References should be listed at the end of the main text.
Reference citations should be inserted in the text using the author-date system whereby the surname of the author and year of publication of the reference are used in the text. For example: 'Reports by Author (Author, 1989) have confirmed...' or '...as reported earlier (Author and Author, 1985; Author et al., 1998)'. Do not place text other than the author and date within the parentheses.
Authors should check all references carefully, and in particular ensure that all references in the Reference section are cited in the text.
The list of references should be in alphabetical order of surnames.
References by the same author(s) should be in chronological order.
Personal communications, unpublished results, manuscripts submitted or in preparation, statistical packages, computer programs and web sites should be cited in the text only, NOT included in the References section.
Accession numbers may be cited either within the text or in the form of a reference.
The normal form of listed references is author's surname, initials; year in parenthesis; article title; journal name in full, volume number and page numbers.

Licence to publish
Please note that the journal now encourages authors to complete their copyright licence to publish form online.
Upon receipt of accepted manuscripts at Oxford Journals authors will be invited to complete an online copyright licence to publish form.
This ensures that requests from third parties to reproduce articles are handled efficiently and consistently and will also allow the article to be as widely disseminated as possible. In granting an exclusive licence, authors may use their own material in publications provided that the Journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication, and Oxford University Press is notified in writing and in advance. In consideration for granting an exclusive licence, the publisher will provide free online access to your article.
Orders from the UK will be subject to the current UK VAT charge. For orders from elsewhere in the EU you or your institution should account for VAT by way of a reverse charge. Please provide us with your or your institution’s VAT number.
Please note that by submitting an article for publication you confirm that you are the corresponding/submitting author and that Oxford University Press ("OUP") may retain your email address for the purpose of communicating with you about the article. You agree to notify OUP immediately if your details change. If your article is accepted for publication OUP will contact you using the email address you have used in the registration process. Please note that OUP does not retain copies of rejected articles.
Open Access
Health Promotion International offers the option of publishing under either a standard licence or an open access licence. Please note that some funders require open access publication as a condition of funding. If you are unsure whether you are required to publish open access, please do clarify any such requirements with your funder or institution.
Should you wish to publish your article open access, you should select your choice of open access licence in our online system after your article has been accepted for publication. You will need to pay an open access charge to publish under an open access licence.
Details of the open access licences and open access charges.
OUP has a growing number of Read and Publish agreements with institutions and consortia which provide funding for open access publishing. This means authors from participating institutions can publish open access, and the institution may pay the charge. Find out if your institution is participating.
Funding
Please submit a separate title page (to be designated as “Title Page”) with author address and contact details, funding statement, word count, details of ethics approval and any acknowledgements.
For the funding statement the following rules should be followed:
The sentence should begin: ‘This work was supported by …’
The full official funding agency name should be given, i.e. ‘the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health’ or simply 'National Institutes of Health' not ‘NCI' (one of the 27 subinstitutions) or 'NCI at NIH’ (full RIN-approved list of UK funding agencies) Grant numbers should be complete and accurate and provided in brackets as follows: ‘[grant number ABX CDXXXXXX]’
Multiple grant numbers should be separated by a comma as follows: ‘[grant numbers ABX CDXXXXXX, EFX GHXXXXXX]’
Agencies should be separated by a semi-colon (plus ‘and’ before the last funding agency)
Where individuals need to be specified for certain sources of funding the following text should be added after the relevant agency or grant number 'to [author initials]'.
An example is given here: ‘This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health [AA123456 to C.S., BB765432 to M.H.]; and the Alcohol & Education Research Council [P50 CA098252 and CA118790 to R.B.S.R.].’
Oxford Journals will deposit all NIH-funded articles in PubMed Central. See this page for details. Authors must ensure that manuscripts are clearly indicated as NIH-funded using the guidelines above.
