The Journal of Health Research in Community, published by Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, is committed to the principle that scientific research should serve humanity as a whole. Research is the result of collective investment by society, and therefore its outcomes must be accessible to everyone, across borders and without discrimination. In line with this philosophy, the journal provides free and unrestricted online access to all its published content. All publication costs are fully supported by the journal, ensuring that authors can publish their manuscripts at no charge, and readers can freely download, share, and use the articles.
