About the Journal
The International Journal of Health Evidence and Practice is a planned open-access journal for research and critical discussion across the health disciplines. Its scope includes clinical care, public health, health services, rehabilitation, health education and policy.
The journal considers original research, narrative reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and case reports. Work should make a clear contribution through new findings, a rigorous synthesis or a useful methodological or practice-oriented analysis. Conclusions must be proportionate to the evidence.
Clinical and population health, prevention, diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation, health services, professional education and health policy. Quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods approaches are welcome when suited to the research question. Replication studies and well-conducted studies with null findings are considered on their scientific merits.
Promotional material, manuscripts unrelated to health, unsupported opinion pieces and conference abstracts submitted as full articles. A review must explain its methods and critically engage with the evidence. See article types and limits.
Initial submission languages are English and Spanish. Spanish manuscripts must include an English title, abstract and keywords. The accepted article types and preparation requirements are set out in the author guidelines.
Case reports should offer a documented clinical lesson and follow the case-report structure, CARE reporting and consent requirements.
