General
The Tanzania Journal of Health Research (TJHR) is a no-fee, open-access, peer-reviewed journal published online at https://www.ajol.info/index.php/thrb. It is published four times yearly (January, April, July, and October) by the National Institute for Medical Research in Tanzania.
TJHR publishes articles from various disciplines, including primary and biomedical sciences, behavioural sciences, epidemiology, clinical sciences, health economics and health policy, operations research and implementation sciences, and social sciences and humanities. It aims to advance health sciences by publishing high-quality research and review articles communicating new ideas and developments in biomedical and health research.
TJHR accepts articles written in English; spelling should be based on British English. Manuscripts should be prepared following the fifth edition of the “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals” established by the Vancouver Group (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, ICMJE). For additional details not covered in the ICMJE Recommendations, EAHRJ refers to the American Medical Association (AMA) Manual of Style (10th edition), published by the American Medical Association and Oxford University Press. The complete document, updated October 2001, is available at http://www.icmje.org/index.html. The manuscripts should be addressed exclusively to the TJHR. Their simultaneous presentation to other journals, whether regarding the text, tables or figures, is prohibited in their totality or part.
TJHR encourages authors to be concise to reach our audience effectively. In some cases, providing more detail in appendices may be appropriate. Formatting approaches such as subheadings, lists, tables, figures, and highlighting key concepts are highly encouraged.
Summaries and single-sentence tag lines or headlines— abstracted sentences containing keywords that convey the essential messages—are also standard. The authors must sign and submit a declaration following the copyright agreement. Original scientific articles should follow the conventional structure: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion.
