It was agreed at the last working meeting of the ICPHR to move forward in the development of a journal that will reflect the values and work of the ICPHR in improving the quality of Participatory Health Research. Some research has already been undertaken scoping the options for publication with the most favoured, (at the moment) to enter into a partnership the University of Alberta Library which provides support and a free online publishing software. This will allow Open Access and greater control over content.
However, we still need to flesh out the details and set up a shadow Editorial group. We are looking for volunteers to help lead this project and take it forward as an embryonic editorial group. Please see the link below for the journal discussion paper that was discussed at the AWM. We will also need some administrative support so student volunteers are also welcome!
