Reply to: [log in to unmask] Apologies for cross posting JHSRP - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS March 2001 Would anyone be interested in contributing to the 'Questions & Answers' section of the Journal of Health Services Research and Policy? JHSRP is edited by Nick Black at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London UK, and Nicholas Mays, at The Treasury, New Zealand. The aim of the Q&A section is for you to identify and try to answer puzzles, especially methodological ones, in health services research and policy. Readers are invited both to submit questions which they think will be of general interest or which are particularly topical, and to offer answers to questions. Questions can be ones which you feel have not been satisfactorily answered in the existing literature, ones which relate to 'self-evident' definitions which need to be made problematic, or paradoxes. Questions for which we are seeking answers for the next issue of the journal appear below: · Is 'globalisation' in health care simply a euphemism for 'Americanisation'? · Does hypothesis testing have a future? · Do print journals have a future? Answers can be up to 200 words in length and written with wit and elegance. If more than one, similar, answer is provided, the criterion of choice for publication will be wit and originality. All contributions submitted for publication should be faxed (or posted) to the Q&A Section Editor: Gillian Parker, Nuffield Community Care Studies Unit, University of Leicester, 22-28 Princess Road West, Leicester LE1 6TP, UK. Fax: +44 (0)116 252 5423. Please see website on: http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/php/hsru/jhsrp/j-aims.htm for 'instructions to authors' and order form.
