Adding a "Scope" Section[edit]

I am interested in updating this page to provide more specific information on the purpose/goal of this Journal. However, I am very new to editing Wikipedia pages and don't want to violate any guidelines.

If there could be a "Scope" section added, perhaps above the "Abstracting and Indexing," I think that would provide readers a better idea on what the Scandinavian Journal of Public Health is.

Specifically, I am interested in adding the following information in this proposed "Scope" section:

"The Scandinavian Journal of Public Health is a scientific journal, which publishes policy relevant public health research with a broad scope and of high quality. Most of its research is written by Nordic researchers for a Nordic audience, aimed at researchers and practitioners in academia, government and health care, working in the fields of social medicine, epidemiology, public health and preventive medicine. However, the journal has an international scope and publishes articles also beyond the Nordic context, including articles within the field of global health. In 2017, the Editor-in-Chief announced a new scope of the journal, marking an increased focus on social inequalities in health ^[1]."

If you have any thoughts to this addition, I would greatly appreciate it. RunningLearner (talk) 15:22, 11 September 2023 (UTC) RunningLearner (talk) 15:22, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but your proposed text is not suitable, because (like most "scope" statements that journals publish) it is too promotional. --Randykitty (talk) 14:46, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for taking the time to read the proposed text and I appreciate your comments. I will revise it RunningLearner (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
