Rural and Remote Health (RRH)
Rural and Remote Health was initiated in 1998 by a grant to Deakin University from the Department of Human Services, Rural health Division, Victoria, Australia. The initial vision was to serve rural and remote communities throughout the world by providing a community forum and specific health-related information. Since then, our one-person team of journal manager has grown to include:
- an international editorial board
- an editor-in-Chief
- regional editors
- regional editorial panels
- a software developer
- a production editor
- a Journal executive committee
- an international reviewer panel
2009年に広島大学医学部地域医療システム学の松本正俊先生がAsian SectionのEditorとなり、私(井上和男)がPanel memberになりました。広く世界中から論文を受け付けています。勿論Medlineに掲載されており、PubMedで検索可能です。Impact Factor 0.979(2012年)
