Horizon of Public Health Sciences (HoPHS) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of rigorous public-health research with relevance to populations, health systems, policy, practice, equity, and resilience.

HoPHS is published by the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Muhammadiyah Palu, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia . The journal provides a scholarly platform for the communication of public-health evidence generated across diverse populations, geographic settings, and health-system contexts.

The journal is positioned to support interdisciplinary and methodologically sound scholarship that contributes to the understanding of public-health problems and strengthens the translation of evidence into policy, professional practice, community action, and population-health improvement.

HoPHS prioritizes research that is scientifically rigorous, ethically conducted, clearly reported, and capable of contributing meaningful evidence to public-health knowledge. Particular value is placed on studies that provide transferable insights, strengthen public-health systems and interventions, address inequities, or improve understanding of health challenges in diverse and resource-constrained settings.

HoPHS is intended for researchers, academics, public-health professionals, clinicians working at the population-health interface, health-system managers, policymakers, programme implementers, postgraduate students, and other stakeholders engaged in the generation or application of public-health evidence.
