SUBMIT YOUR ARTICLE

We are a very open-minded publication with loose criteria regarding what makes a suitable article topic, but we will provide you with the following boundaries within which you are free to produce to your heart’s desire.

We have four primary umbrellas under which we expect most of our articles to fall: (1) multidisciplinary studies and their impact on understanding health, (2) novel and unique public health research, (3) unconventional relationships between health and other fields (4) cultural differences around the world compared to the United States (think broadly and creatively: women in film, body image, food portions, the abundance of public parks, walk score, etc.). We have article title examples for each category below:

1) Multidisciplinary studies and their impact on understanding health: "A trip to the Guggenheim changed my view on environmental health."

2) Novel and unique public health research: "Can shopping carts in a German parking lot tell us anything about neighborhood health disparities?"

3) Unconventional relationships between health and other fields: "Is shapewear the reason I can’t get enough air in my lungs?"

4) Cultural differences around the world compared to the United States: "People eat lunch for two hours in Paris─should we be doing the same?"

Think outside of the box. This is a core value of Cabin Fever: relate your topic to something just slightly outlandish, and show the reader how there are a variety of factors that can impact health and quality of life.

We are expecting interesting, relevant articles that contain a persuasive and captivating voice that emphasizes the value of broadening one's worldview when aiming to make an impact in healthcare. Writers should be able to bring out the boldest form of their creativity and use it to integrate the many eccentricities of the global world with healthcare. 

YOU MUST OBEY THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE FORMATTING GUIDELINES:

Prior to submission, you must ensure that your article is adequately formatted as per the guidelines below.

  • Title of article is at the very top of the document.

  • Text is written in Times New Roman (12 point font) and it is double spaced.

  • References are numbered at the bottom in alphabetical order and as per the OWL Purdue APA guidelines.

  • In-text citations are as following: at the end of a sentence or phrase that requires a citation, there should be a number inside a bracket [ ], and the number corresponds to a particular citation in your numbered references list.
