“Science best benefits society when its freely available to all”
- Dr. Kenneth Olden, Director, NIEHS

Environmental Health Perspectives, the peer-reviewed journal of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, is an important vehicle for the dissemination of environmental health information and research findings. EHP is read in over 190 countries. Electronic submission and review are the norm for the more than 800 manuscripts received each year. With a rejection rate of 80% only the best articles are published. These articles are published within 24 hours of acceptance on ehponline as EHP-in-Press articles and are completely citable using the CrossRef DOI system.

EHP has an international outreach program that includes complimentary subscriptions to developing countries and a Chinese-language edition published quarterly and distributed to 35,000 readers. In the journal's continued commitment to the international community, the "In This Issue" section is published on EHP's website in five languages - Chinese, French, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish.

Open Access

Environmental Health Perspectives [EHP] is now an open access journal - all content is freely available to everyone online immediately after publication.
