Step 2: Submit to COPPHA PublishNow
Submit your research for open, transparent peer review through the COPPHA PublishNow platform.
1. Log In or Register
Go to https://publishnow.wacren.net/coppha/login to start your submission.
- You will need an ORCID iD to log in.
- If you don't have one, select “Register with ORCID” and complete the quick signup process.
Why ORCID?
ORCID ensures accurate author identification, enables contributor tracking, and connects your work across different research systems.
2. Make a Submission
Title of your work
ARK, DOI, or URL of your article or uploaded file
Abstract or summary (especially for policy briefs, reports, presentations)
Author information: name, email, institution, and ORCID iDs (recommended for proper attribution and discoverability)
Type of submission:
Original Research Article
Editorial
Policy Document
Technical or Field Report
Public Health Presentation
Declaration of competing interests (if any)
Additional Information
A competing interest is anything that could affect the objectivity of your work (e.g., funding sources, affiliations, or financial interests).
Once all fields are completed, click “Submit your research object” at the end of the form and you are done! Your submission will be accessible to the COPPHA PublishNow editorial team, and you will be notified once it is under active review.
Important
To uphold the integrity and usefulness of the open peer review process at COPPHA PublishNow, we kindly ask authors who have been notified that their work is under active review not to submit their article to a journal until the review process is complete. This helps prevent conflicting feedback, supports a clear revision process, and ensures compliance with journal policies that prohibit simultaneous submissions.
Authors are welcome to submit their revised article to a journal of their choice, or to one of our partner journals, such as the Somali Health Action Journal , after the COPPHA PublishNow reviews and editorial assessment have been published.
