GHEP Journals Join NISA Conference 2026
Meet GHEP Journals
GHEP Journals provides a global platform for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and public health professionals to share rigorous evidence addressing some of the most pressing health challenges.
Our two peer-reviewed journals are:
International Journal of Maternal and Child Health and AIDS (IJMA)
A multidisciplinary, open-access journal publishing research, reviews, field studies, policy papers, methodology articles, and commentaries across maternal and child health, HIV/AIDS, social determinants of health, and health disparities.
International Journal of Translational Medical Research and Public Health (IJTMRPH)
A peer-reviewed journal focused on translational medical research and public health, with an emphasis on generating evidence that can contribute to improved health outcomes and inform practice and policy.
Both journals actively encourage and prioritize research from and about low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), helping ensure that perspectives and evidence from Africa and other historically underrepresented regions are represented in the global health literature.
Why NISA Matters
Implementation science plays a critical role in bridging the gap between what we know and what we do.
NISA brings together researchers, policymakers, program implementers, and other stakeholders to exchange knowledge, strengthen collaboration, and explore practical approaches for translating evidence into effective health programs and policies.
For GHEP Journals, this mission aligns closely with our commitment to disseminating research that is not only scientifically rigorous, but also relevant to communities, health systems, and decision-makers.
Connect With Us in Abuja
Are you conducting implementation research in Nigeria or elsewhere in Africa?
Are you working to translate evidence into policy, programs, or improved health outcomes?
We would love to hear from you.
Your Research. Your Evidence. Your Impact.
Visit the GHEP Journals team during the NISA Conference to learn more about:
- Publishing your implementation science research
- Preparing manuscripts for peer review
- Opportunities for researchers from LMICs
- Manuscript submission and journal policies
- Building greater visibility for African public health research
- Connecting research findings with a global readership
At GHEP Journals, we believe that research has the greatest impact when evidence is shared, accessible, and connected to the people and systems that can use it.
As NISA 2026 brings together leaders working to advance implementation science in Nigeria and beyond, GHEP Journals is proud to support a stronger, more inclusive global health research community.
We look forward to seeing you in Abuja!
