Video
As a value-added benefit of publishing in AJHB, we will be offering authors a unique opportunity for sharing additional details with other health behavior scholars regarding their publication and related work in which they are engaged. Specifically, we will be inviting authors to contribute a video that they can create on their desktop or laptop computer. When it has been reviewed and approved, we will activate it at our website and provide additional information to link the video to their paper, moreover, authors will be able to link the video to their home institution/organization, or to another personal website of their preference. This video will become part of a permanent archive that accompanies papers published in AJHB. We hope that in doing so it will enhance the visibility of authors work in general as well as to their excellent contribution to American Journal of Health Behavior.
