The journal has been published under its current name since 2008, when the Royal Society for Public Health was formed. It was originally established in 1879 under the title The Journal of the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health, on behalf of The Royal Society of Health, also known as the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health. This organisation merged with the Royal Institute of Public Health in 2008, forming the Royal Society for Public Health, and consequently the journal was renamed. The full archive of the journal, dating back to 1879, is available to view online.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in Scopus and the Social Sciences Citation Index. According to the Journal Citation Reports, its 2022 impact factor is 5.8.[1]
