International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health | Introduction of Mandatory “Highlights” Section for Articles
Following the Editor-in-Chief Prof. Dr. Paul R. Ward’s recent guidance and in line with the Editorial (see ref. below), International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH, ISSN: 1660-4601) will introduce a mandatory “Highlights” Section for all newly submitted manuscripts starting from 1 December 2025.
The goal of the “Highlights” Section is to increase the discoverability, readability, and overall impact of published articles through search engines and among the wider scholarly community. This Section should provide a concise, easily accessible overview of the key contributions of the article.
Please note:

- They should summarize the core messages of the article in a simplified form;
- Each subsection may include up to two bullet points;
- Special manuscript types (Editorial, Correction, Retraction, Expression of Concern, Book Review, Letter, etc.) are exempt from this requirement.
Structure of “Highlights”:
- Public health relevance—How does this work relate to a public health issue?
- First bullet;
- Second bullet.

- Second bullet.
