The work
What a JPMC editor is responsible for
The four steps below are the journal's own published editorial workflow, in its own order.
-
Scope and ethics
The editor confirms the manuscript's scope and its ethical compliance.
-
Reviewers assigned
Expert reviewers are assigned and their timelines are monitored.
-
Feedback synthesised
Reviewer feedback is synthesised into one clear decision.
-
Revisions tracked
Revisions are communicated to the author and resubmissions are monitored.
Each editor is expected to
- Assess scope fit and methodological quality.
- Select qualified reviewers with preventive medicine expertise.
- Provide constructive decision recommendations.
- Ensure ethical and transparent review practices.
- Maintain consistent communication with authors and reviewers.
The decision an author receives
- Accept with minor revisions
- Major revisions required
- Reject with option to resubmit
- Reject for scope or methodological limitations
Authors may appeal a decision with a clear, evidence-based rationale; appeals are reviewed by senior editors. Editorial policies
Independence
What the board's decisions do not depend on
Editors operate independently from any commercial or financial influence. Editorial decisions are not affected by author funding sources or APC payment.JPMC editorial policies · Read the policy in full
Conflicts are declared and handled
Editors must treat manuscripts as confidential and avoid conflicts of interest. If a conflict exists, the editor should recuse and notify the editorial office. Editors may decline an assignment where a conflict of interest or a workload issue arises.
Decisions are made on the science
Editorial decisions are based on the quality of the science, alignment with scope, and potential public health impact. The article processing charge is applied only after acceptance, and there are no submission fees.
Peer review
How the board reaches a decision
Peer review is Single-blind (double-blind on request). Reviewers are subject-matter experts in preventive medicine, public health and care delivery, and their feedback is synthesised into one clear decision.
What a manuscript is judged on
- Scope alignment with preventive medicine and care
- Methodological rigour and transparent reporting
- Ethical compliance and participant protections
- Public health relevance and practical impact
What reviewers are held to
- Objective, constructive and specific feedback.
- Confidentiality of the manuscript throughout.
- Prompt disclosure of any conflict of interest.
- No requests to cite unrelated or self-serving references.

Questions
About this board
Who sits on the editorial board of the Journal of Preventive Medicine and Care?
11 researchers working in 6 countries, across prevention and population health, paediatric preventive cardiology, gerontology and cognitive health, violence prevention, environmental toxicology, physiology and biomedical informatics. Each member is listed with their institution, their research focus and, where they hold one, their ORCID iD.
How does JPMC make editorial decisions?
The editor confirms scope and ethical compliance, assigns expert reviewers and monitors their timelines, synthesises the reviewer feedback into one clear decision, and communicates revisions and monitors resubmissions. Decisions are made on scope alignment, methodological rigour, ethical compliance and public health relevance. Peer review is Single-blind (double-blind on request).
Are JPMC editorial decisions influenced by the article processing charge?
No. The journal states that editors operate independently of any commercial or financial influence and that editorial decisions are not affected by author funding sources or by payment of the article processing charge. The charge applies only after acceptance.
How do I join the JPMC editorial board?
Apply through the editor register. The journal asks for an established record in preventive medicine or public health, experience in peer review or editorial leadership, and a commitment to ethical publishing, together with a current CV and institutional affiliation, areas of expertise, recent publications and availability.
Serving on the board
How members are appointed

- An established record in preventive medicine or public health.
- Experience in peer review or editorial leadership.
- A commitment to ethical publishing and evidence-based practice.
What an application contains
- A current CV and institutional affiliation
- Areas of expertise and methodological strengths
- Recent publications or clinical contributions

Read the aims and scope first: work that focuses on treatment without a prevention or public health dimension may be out of scope. The article processing charge is payable only after acceptance.
