Women’s Health Bulletin (WHB) is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing original contributions that advance the health and well-being of adolescent girls and women. As women and girls comprise half of the world’s population, safeguarding and promoting their health remains a major priority for policymakers and researchers alike. WHB facilitates the exchange of research not only on clinical issues but also on physical, mental, and emotional health. WHB, which benefits from an international editorial board, is published quarterly by Health Policy Research Center, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran and publishes Review Articles, Research articles, Short Communications, Editorials, Commentaries, and Letters to the Editor.
Moreover, all submissions to the WHB undergo a fair, supportive and double anonymized peer review process. We follow the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, issued by International Committee for Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), as well as the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) code of conduct for editors.
