Double Gain for SAGE in Public Health

Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, and Singapore (November 26, 2007)
- SAGE, the world's fifth largest journals publisher, is
delighted to announce two new society partnerships that further
strengthen the company's strong presence in international public
health. Beginning in 2008, SAGE will publish the Scandinavian
Journal of Public Health (SJPH) and the Asia-Pacific Journal of
Public Health (APJPH).

Now quarterly, APJPH, published in association with the
Asia-Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health, publishes
original articles on public health issues, including implications
for practical applications to professional education and services
for public health and primary healthcare in the Asia-Pacific
region. The Consortium's member institutions are comprised of the
largest and most influential schools of public health in the
Asia-Pacific region.

"Our smart partnership with SAGE will certainly bring APJPH to a
higher level," stated APJPH's Editor-in-Chief, Wah Yun Low, PhD.
"The journal, solely committed to public health issues in the
Asia Pacific region, will experience increased global
visibility."

Published eight times a year, SJPH is a forum for Nordic as well
as international public health research and policy. Legislation
in most countries in the Nordic region allows researchers to
carry out studies linking various population registers by means
of individual personal identification numbers. This provides a
unique source of data that is invaluable for the public health
community and SJPH aims to publish the excellent research that
results from this. The journal is the official publication of the
Associations of Public Health in Nordic Regions, comprising
leading public health organizations in Denmark, Finland, Iceland,
Norway and Sweden.

"SAGE has an excellent reputation for insightful marketing, and
we have been impressed with the smooth, efficient service we have
received so far," said Finn Kamper-J=F8rgensen SJPH
Editor-in-Chief, Director of the Danish Institute of Public
Health and President of the Danish Society. "We look forward to
working with SAGE on SJPH to bring this important journal to a
wider audience."

"SAGE will provide the full support of its global organization
and cutting-edge marketing technologies to ensure the widest
possible dissemination of these important journals," commented
Ziyad Marar, Publishing Director, SAGE. "Our goal is to be the
natural home for authors, editors and societies, delivering a
high-quality professional service to our partners-with a strong
commitment to meeting their unique needs."

Publishing over 485 journals SAGE has seen significant growth in
its science, technology and medical (STM) portfolio, with over
115 titles in health sciences, and 30 specifically in the fields
of public health and nursing. Key titles include Health Education
& Behavior and The Diabetes Educator.

SAGE's expanding STM journal portfolio is complemented by an
authoritative collection of reference works on important health
issues, including the forthcoming Encyclopedia of Global Health
and Encyclopedia of Obesity. Both titles will publish in spring
2008. Further information can be found at
www.sagepub.com/reference.nav.

2008 institutional subscriptions for both journals include
Combined (Print and E-access), E-access, or Print Only options.
The full-text for both journals is available via the SAGE
Journals Online platform. APJPH is now available online at
http://apjph.sagepub.com and, starting in January 2008, the SJPH
web site will be http://sjp.sagepub.com.
