Our Temporary Home
Welcome! We are updating the EHP website in preparation for our upcoming move to online-only publication. We have constructed this temporary site to ensure you have easy access to EHP content while we restore and update our permanent site.
You’ll still find Advance Publications and our most recent issues on our temporary site, and manuscripts should still be submitted through Manuscript Central. All EHP Research and News content is available on PubMed Central, and all segments of The Researcher’s Perspective podcast series are available via iTunes. EHP Chinese Edition and the rest of our translated content will return to our site as soon as possible. In the meantime, you’ll find a selection of translated articles at Scribd.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by our downtime and our temporary quarters.
