Abstract: The JOHPEC was founded about a year ago, in April 2020, as health systems around the world faced the biggest challenge of their time: the COVID-19 pandemic.In a time when misinformation spread quickly, and public trust in expertise waned, the JOHPEC reminded its authors, readers, and developers the importance of centring policies around factual, evidencebased knowledge.Its rigorous guidelines and peer-review process has enabled us to publish papers of high quality, and our open access policy ensures those papers are always readily available to all.More generally, the JOHPEC aims to give LSE students and alumni interested in health research an opportunity to understand the world of academia, by publishing the original papers they have written related to their coursework (or externally), build skills of peer-reviewing, and manage publications as an Editor.This learning platform would have never taken shape without the sponsorship of the LSE Department of Health Policy; we are most grateful for their continued support in the JOHPEC's mission.We are equally appreciative of the LSE Houghton Street Press team -Claire Delahunty, Lucy Lambe, and Emily Horsey -and Dr. Edgar Whitley for their help in developing the submission, peer-reviewing, and editing processes of the Journal.
