A new section for and by public health practitioners and decision-makers/Une nouvelle rubrique par et pour les praticiens et les decideurs de la sante publique.

In this issue, the Journal's Editorial Board is launching a new section entitled "Innovations in Policy and Practice". As explained in detail in Hancock et al.'s invited commentary in this same issue, the new section is specifically designed with the information needs of public health practitioners and decision-makers in mind. Our aim is to increase the Journal's relevance for public health practice and policy both as a source of inspiration for the development of programs and policy, and as a venue in which practitioners and decision-makers can share their experience. For the past year, a group of engaged public health practitioners and decision-makers assembled by Trevor Hancock have shared ideas and experience about how their needs for communicating their innovative practices and knowing about other practitioners' and decision-makers' innovations could be met. In addition, in a commissioned report, Victoria Barr reviewed how other journals in the field of public health go about opening their pages to practitioners.

The Editorial Board decided that our section on Innovations in Policy and Practice should be managed and subjected to peer review by prominent public health practitioners with a strong track record of innovative practice and communication; that contributions should come primarily from practitioners and decision-makers, with the possibility of researchers as co-authors but not as main authors; and that the format should suit the information needs of practitioners and decision-makers. We believe that the new section will meet these criteria, and are eager to receive submissions.

One of our goals in publishing public health innovations described and analyzed in a rigorous manner is to foster new partnerships between research teams and innovative public health organizations. The nascent fields of population health intervention research and public health systems and services research value the conduct of studies on programs, policies and interventions that are designed and implemented within the public health system. It is our hope that articles in this new section will trigger the curiosity of the Canadian public health research community.

To continue the more than 100-year tradition of excellence of the Canadian Journal of Public Health, the Editorial Board has identified three strategic priorities for the Journal's future developments. Our first priority is that the Journal become a must-read for and increase its relevance to the whole public health community in Canada, and this includes practitioners and decision-makers. Another priority is to increase the Journal's relevance to the global public health community. Finally, we want the Journal to attract and publish the best possible research in all of its forms to contribute to improving people's health in Canada and globally. The launch of the Innovations in Policy and Practice section is a concrete step in the pursuit of our first priority. We hope that readers and writers agree that this was the right thing to do and that we will soon be in a position to publish our first series of innovations in policy and practice.

Dans ce numero, le comite editorial de la Revue lance une nouvelle rubrique intitulee << Innovations dans les politiques et les pratiques >>. Comme l'expliquent en detail Hancock et coll. dans leur commentaire invite de ce meme numero, la nouvelle rubrique est specifiquement pensee en fonction des besoins d' information des praticiens et des decideurs de la sante publique. Notre but: accroitre la pertinence de la Revue en ce qui concerne la pratique et les politiques de sante publique, tant pour en faire une source d'inspiration pour l'elaboration des programmes et politiques qu'une tribune ou praticiens et decideurs pourront partager leur experience. Depuis un an, un groupe de praticiens et de decideurs engages, reunis par Trevor Hancock, partagent leurs idees et leur experience afin de trouver des moyens de communiquer leurs pratiques novatrices et de se renseigner sur les innovations de leurs collegues. En outre, dans un rapport commande, Victoria Barr examine comment d' autres revues du domaine de la sante publique s'y prennent pour ouvrir leurs pages aux praticiens.

Le comite editorial a decide que la rubrique sur les Innovations dans les politiques et les pratiques devrait etre geree et evaluee par des praticiens de la sante publique reputes, possedant de solides antecedents en matiere de pratiques novatrices et de communication; que les manuscrits devraient provenir principalement de praticiens et de decideurs, eventuellement avec des chercheurs comme coauteurs mais non comme auteurs principaux; et que la formule choisie devrait repondre aux besoins d'information des praticiens et des decideurs. Nous croyons que la nouvelle rubrique repondra a ces criteres et nous avons hate de recevoir des manuscrits.

L'un de nos objectifs, en publiant des innovations en sante publique rigoureusement decrites et analysees, est de favoriser de nouveaux partenariats entre les equipes de recherche et les organismes de sante publique novateurs. Deux domaines naissants, la recherche interventionnelle en sante des populations et la recherche sur les systemes et services de sante publique, apprecient que l'on etudie les programmes, les politiques et les interventions concus et mis en oeuvre dans le systeme de sante publique. Nous esperons que les articles de notre nouvelle rubrique eveilleront la curiosite des chercheurs canadiens en sante publique.

Pour poursuivre la tradition d' excellence plus que centenaire de la Revue canadienne de sante publique, le comite editorial a defini trois priorites strategiques pour l' evolution future de la Revue. Notre premiere priorite est d'en faire une lecture incontournable et d'en accroitre la pertinence pour toute la communaute de la sante publique du Canada, praticiens et decideurs compris. Une autre priorite est d'accroitre sa pertinence pour la communaute de la sante publique mondiale. Enfin, nous voulons que la Revue attire et publie les meilleures recherches possibles, sous toutes leurs formes, afin de contribuer a ameliorer la sante des gens au Canada et dans le monde. Le lancement de la rubrique des

Innovations dans les politiques et les pratiques est un pas en avant dans la poursuite de notre premiere priorite. Nous esperons que les lecteurs et les auteurs conviendront que c'etait la bonne chose a faire, et que nous serons bientot en mesure de publier notre premiere serie d'innovations dans les politiques et les pratiques.
