About the Journal

Language of Submission: French and English

Burundi Publishing is committed to promoting inclusive and accessible research. As part of our mission to support a diverse academic community, we accept manuscript submissions in both French and English for all our journals, including the Global Journal of Health and Innovation Burundi (GJHIB). This bilingual approach ensures that researchers, scholars, and professionals from Burundi, francophone Africa, and around the world can contribute to and benefit from the knowledge shared through our publications.

By accepting papers in both languages, we aim to foster a wider exchange of ideas and make our journals a platform for researchers from various linguistic backgrounds. Authors can submit their work in either French or English, and we provide a seamless peer review process in both languages to maintain the quality and rigor of academic discourse.
