The ultimate aims of the AJWH are to provide profound and constructive perception on the practices directly and/or indirectly related to the World Trade Organization, as well as the international health organizations, and in the same way, to contribute to the development of these practices.

The AJWH invites the submission of manuscripts from the legal, political, economic, health and inter-disciplinary perspectives on the issues relevant to the World Trade Organization and the international health regimes. All manuscripts will subject to the review process of the Editorial Advisory Committee and the Review Committee, so as to ensure high standards and quality of the materials. The AJWH also welcomes the submission of reviews on published books, and notes and student notes. Acceptance of these manuscripts is also subject to the decision of these committees. The Review Committee is composed of eight international trade and/or health experts and each manuscript is randomly distributed to two of these reviewers. In the same way, the final acceptance of the submitted manuscripts is subject to the decision of the Editorial Advisory Committee which is composed of five distinguished scholars and/or experts.

The AJWH presents itself as academic and practicing references for trade- and/or health-related scholars, practitioners and policy makers, and hence it welcomes the subscription of readers from the legal, economic, political, health, policy-making or multi-disciplinary backgrounds.
