The Bulletin of the World Health Organization is published monthly in English, with French and Spanish summaries for eacharticle by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Established for more than 50 years as aleading research journal, the Bulletinof the World Health Organization was expanded in 1999. In line withsweeping changes preparing WHO for the new century, the Bulletin quickened its pace of publication and extended itseditorial scope.

Contributions from the social and behaviouralsciences added to extend the journal\'s traditional coverage of biomedical andscientific research. Support from a prestigious Editorial Board, as well as from anextensive group of reviewers, has raised the standards of manuscript appraisaland acceptance even higher.

By placing research findings andpolicy-relevant discussions side by side, the Bulletin aims to stimulate debate on public health policy andpractice based on the best evidence available, while also encouraging closerlinks between scientific investigation and the challenge of helping populationsto lead healthier lives. In selecting articles for publication, the editorscontinue to give priority to original findings that advance understanding ofhealth problems - and ways to solve them - in a world where health concernsevery country, and diseases respect no boundaries.

Its abbreviated title, Bull World Health Organ, should be used in bibliographies,footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.
