The Lancet has launched a new open access (free) journal titled “The Lancet Global Health.”

Here is the description from the web site: “The Lancet Global Health is the first online-only, open access journal in The Lancet’s now well established stable of monthly specialty journals. The Lancet Global Health publishes high-quality original research, commentary, correspondence, and blogs on the following subjects as they pertain to low- and middle-income countries: reproductive, maternal, neonatal, and child health; adolescent health; infectious diseases, including neglected tropical diseases; non-communicable diseases; the global health workforce; health systems; and health policy. All original research is subjected to The Lancet’s usual rigorous standards of external clinical and statistical peer review, and is edited by experienced copy editors to the highest standards.”
