The Health Tomorrow Journal is accepting article submissions for its second issue. Deadline for submission: June 30th, 2015. Please submit your articles directly to htii@yorku.ca This peer-reviewed journal is dedicated to publishing innovative and diverse health scholarship from emerging and established academics from all disciplines. Articles are encouraged to involve critical arguments, rather than be merely descriptive, and we encourage papers that have an interdisciplinary focus and/or cross-disciplinary implications. This digital journal offers another forum for students to become involved in health research and share their findings with others in a collegial environment.
