Aim & Scope

We are a journal for students who believe in sharing information for free. Publishing in a total of 39 sections, SJHR-Africa is here to meet the needs of an African student. We believe that when we integrate Knowledge from different academic disciplines, Africa will be a complete ecosystem with adequate scholarly materials to bridge the knowledge gap.

As the world becomes more integrated, our scope extends to biological sciences and vocational studies that have an impact on health such as Agriculture.  Informational technology, Environmental science, Business studies, and planning have also been shown to influence Health. The journal brings together individual specialties from different fields into a dynamic academic mix. We intended to enhance communication among health system researchers and administrators, policy and decision-makers, legislators, practitioners, educators, students, and other types of professionals in the research that might affect the healthcare delivery systems.

Publishing schedule

Our Publication Months are March, June, September, and December of Every year.

Current Issue

Vol. 6 No. 2 (2025): Special Issue in Preprints 2025

The Student’s Journal of Health Research Africa (SJHR Africa) is pleased to announce a Special Issue Preprint Collection focused on emerging public health interventions, innovative healthcare models, and early-stage research findings. This collection aims to accelerate knowledge sharing and foster collaboration by providing a platform for researchers to disseminate their work before formal peer review.

Preprints in this Special Issue represent original studies, reviews, and case reports that address critical public health challenges, including disease prevention, health policy, digital health solutions, and community health programs. These submissions undergo an editorial screening process to ensure ethical compliance and research integrity before being made publicly accessible.

This collection offers authors the opportunity to receive early feedback from the research community, enhancing the quality of their work before submission for formal peer review.

We invite health professionals, researchers, and policymakers to explore this collection and contribute their insights. While these preprints are not yet peer-reviewed, they provide a valuable foundation for evidence-based public health advancements.
