About the Journal

The Journal of Cardiometabolic Research and Public Health (JCRPH) is a peer-reviewed, open-access, biannual international journal published by the Cardiometabolic Research and Awareness Foundation (CMRAF). The journal is dedicated to the dissemination of high-quality, evidence-based research addressing the prevention, diagnosis, management, and policy dimensions of cardiometabolic diseases, with particular relevance to Africa and other low- and middle-income regions, while also welcoming contributions from scholars worldwide.

JCRPH provides an interdisciplinary platform covering, but not limited to, cardiology, endocrinology, metabolic and nutritional sciences, public health and epidemiology, preventive medicine, health policy, non-communicable diseases, and global health. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, short communications, case reports, and public health reports, all of which undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure scientific quality and integrity.

The journal operates a fully Open Access publishing model under Creative Commons licensing and is published twice yearly (June and December) with an online-first publication option. All accepted articles are assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to guarantee permanent accessibility, visibility, and citation integrity.
