Global Networks is a path-breaking journal devoted to the social scientific understanding of globalization and transnationalism. In the twenty-first century emerging transnational actors will play an ever more important role in both global and local affairs. They represent the human face of globalization. Such actors enter into the spaces opened up by the intersection of corporate capital, labour mobility and the new information, communication and transportation technologies. A feature of globe-spanning interactions of all kinds is the building and sustaining of social, economic, political and cultural networks.

Global Perspectives in Communication (GPC) is dedicated to fostering diverse perspectives, fresh insights, and open-ended inquiries that drive communication research forward. GPC's streamlined, high-quality peer-review process will ensure the rapid publication of scientifically rigorous research across all areas of communication. 

Global Perspectives on Nutrition is a brand-new open-access nutrition journal focused on original research from a global perspective, with an emphasis on sustainability.  The journal publishes original research and critical literature reviews on current and emerging topics in nutrition science, food science, clinical nutrition, and nutrition policy. Readers of Global Perspectives on Nutrition include nutrition scientists, biomedical researchers, clinical and dietetic practitioners, and advanced students of nutrition.

Articles selected for publication will be consistent with the journal’s mission and should clearly outline both the biological and practical nutritional implications of a timely topic, so the reader obtains a clear understanding of both the topic’s nature and its relevance.

Global Public Health is an essential peer-reviewed journal that energetically engages with key public health issues that have come to the fore in the global environment — mounting inequalities between rich and poor, the globalization of trade, new patterns of travel and migration, epidemics of newly-emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the increase in chronic illnesses, escalating pressure on public health infrastructures around the world, and the growing range and scale of conflict situations, terrorist threats, environmental pressures, natural and human-made disasters. Directed and supported by a leading international board of experts, the journal is broad-based and wide-ranging, including work that draws on the environmental health sciences; epidemiology; health policy and management; and the social sciences as applied to public health and medicine. It is characterized and distinguished from other journals currently available in the field by its: global and multidisciplinary focus; emphasis on significant global health issues, including their social and cultural dimensions as appropriate; and, concern to understand resource-poor and resource-rich countries, and the public health challenges they face, as part of a single, interacting, global system. Therefore, the journal is keen to publish manuscripts with analysis emphasizing each of the following: The role of significant social factors, especially social inequalities, as determinants of health; Politics and policy, both as shaping health outcomes and as important components of health systems; and The global and the ways in which any specific case study raises issues about global processes or systems.
