Sciences Sociales et Santé publishes articles on health, which is understood as a whole body of knowledge and practices with their numerous objectives and perpetually changing contours. Some of the topics relating to health that it tackles include past situations such as reforms carried out to the health system or changes to healthcare programs. Others are more recent and include the relationship between health and the environment or the growing importance of biological knowledge in medical practice.
Every issue of the journal contains three articles, each accompanied by a commentary offering a different point of view on the subject from another discipline. After the editorial board has checked the article to make sure that it complies with the journal’s editorial policy, it is sent to two external readers who review it anonymously.
Sciences Sociales et Santé also regularly brings out special issues based on a multidisciplinary theme suggested either by the members of the editorial board or by external researchers, with recent examples including “Medicine and the Justice System” and “Endocrine Disruptors.” The scientific community can also review recent works. Hard copies of the journal are published by John Libbey Eurotext.
