Focus and Scope

The Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion (Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde – RBPS), an evolution of its predecessor, the Journal of the Health Sciences Center (Revista do Centro de Ciências da Saúde – RECCS), was established in 1984 with a mission: to foster the development of Health Promotion and Public Health (Saúde Coletiva) through the dissemination of relevant research and actions in these areas.

Editorial Focus RBPS is dedicated to publishing research, practices, and experiences that promote interdisciplinarity and critical reflection, while fostering debate on Health Promotion, its articulation with Public Health, and its intersections with the social and human sciences. Our objective is to disseminate scientific knowledge in Health Promotion, Public Health, and related fields to bring visibility to current, innovative, inclusive, and diverse themes that impact society's health and living conditions. RBPS is aimed at researchers, health professionals, policymakers, health managers, community leaders, and anyone else interested in the advancement of Public Health and Health Promotion.

Scope RBPS publishes original articles, review articles, and descriptions of experiences. It accepts articles with quantitative and qualitative approaches, descriptive and analytical research, as well as clinical, epidemiological, and environmental studies, whose ultimate goal is the dissemination of scientific knowledge and its impact on Health Promotion and Public/Collective Health.

The Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion implemented a continuous publication format for articles starting in January 2019.

This model features the following characteristics: one volume per year, without division into issues. Each finalized article is published immediately without the need to compile a full edition.

The publication is bilingual with OPEN ACCESS and is available free of charge through the UNIFOR Journals Portal: http://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS
