Hasanuddin Public Health Nutrition Journal (HPHNJ) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and practice in public health nutrition. The journal welcomes manuscripts that generate actionable evidence on nutrition determinants, interventions, policy, and systems — especially research that bridges science and policy in low- and middle-income country settings.

HPHNJ aims to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share findings that contribute to improving population nutrition, preventing diet-related diseases, and strengthening nutrition programs and policies. The journal publishes high-quality research that addresses nutritional challenges across the life course, including maternal, child, adolescent, and adult nutrition, as well as food systems, dietary behaviours, and community-based interventions.

The journal also prioritizes studies that have practical relevance and strong implications for public health, including program evaluation, implementation research, and policy analysis that can inform decision-making and support evidence-based nutrition strategies.

HPHNJ publishes original research articles and review articles relevant to public health nutrition and related interdisciplinary fields.

The journal is published twice a year, with issues released in May and November.

All articles are published under an open-access model, allowing readers worldwide to freely access and share published research.
