Double Gain for SAGE in Public Health

Los Angeles, bond, New Delhi, and Singapore (November 26,
2007)=20
- SAGE, the world's fifth largest journals publisher, is=20
delighted to announce two new society partnerships that
further=20
strengthen the company's strong presence in international
public=20
health. Beginning in 2008, SAGE will publish the
Scandinavian=20
Journal of Public Health (SJPH) and the Asia-Pacific Journal
of=20
Public Health (APJPH).

Now quarterly, APJPH, published in association with the=20
Asia-Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health,
publishes=20
original articles on public health issues, including
implications=20
for practical applications to professional education and
services=20
for public health and primary healthcare in the
Asia-Pacific=20
region. The Consortium's member institutions are comprised
of the=20
largest and most influential schools of public health in
the=20
Asia-Pacific region.

"Our smart partnership with SAGE will certainly bring
APJPH to a=20
higher level," stated APJPH's Editor-in-Chief, Wah Yun
Low, PhD.=20
"The journal, solely committed to public health issues
in the=20
Asia Pacific region, will experience increased global=20
visibility."

Published eight times a year, SJPH is a forum for Nordic as
well=20
as international public health research and policy.
Legislation=20
in most countries in the Nordic region allows researchers
to=20
carry out studies linking various population registers by
means=20
of individual personal identification numbers. This provides
a=20
unique source of data that is invaluable for the public
health=20
community and SJPH aims to publish the excellent research
that=20
results from this. The journal is the official publication
of the=20
Associations of Public Health in Nordic Regions,
comprising=20
leading public health organizations in Denmark, Finland,
Iceland,=20
Norway and Sweden.

"SAGE has an excellent reputation for insightful
marketing, and=20
we have been impressed with the smooth, efficient service we
have=20
received so far," said Finn Kamper-J=F8rgensen SJPH=20
Editor-in-Chief, Director of the Danish Institute of
Public=20
Health and President of the Danish Society. "We look
forward to=20
working with SAGE on SJPH to bring this important journal to
a=20
wider audience."

"SAGE will provide the full support of its global
organization=20
and cutting-edge marketing technologies to ensure the
widest=20
possible dissemination of these important journals,"
commented=20
Ziyad Marar, Publishing Director, SAGE. "Our goal is to
be the=20
natural home for authors, editors and societies, delivering
a=20
high-quality professional service to our partners-with a
strong=20
commitment to meeting their unique needs."

Publishing over 485 journals SAGE has seen significant
growth in=20
its science, technology and medical (STM) portfolio, with
over=20
115 titles in health sciences, and 30 specifically in the
fields=20
of public health and nursing. Key titles include Health
Education=20
& Behavior and The Diabetes Educator.

SAGE's expanding STM journal portfolio is complemented by
an=20
authoritative collection of reference works on important
health=20
issues, including the forthcoming Encyclopedia of Global
Health=20
and Encyclopedia of Obesity. Both titles will publish in
spring=20
2008. Further information can be found at=20
www.sagepub.com/reference.nav.

2008 institutional subscriptions for both journals
include=20
Combined (Print and E-access), E-access, or Print Only
options.=20
The full-text for both journals is available via the
SAGE=20
Journals Online platform. APJPH is now available online
