Health Economics, Policy and Law 

 

Cambridge University Press is delighted to announce the launch of a new quarterly journal, Health Economics, Policy and Law for 2006. International trends highlight the confluence of economics, politics and legal considerations in the health policy process. Health Economics, Policy and Law will serve as a forum for scholarship on health policy issues from these perspectives, and will be of use to academics, policy makers and health care managers and professionals. HEPL will be international in scope, and will publish both theoretical and applied work. Considerable emphasis will be placed on rigorous conceptual development and analysis, and on the presentation of empirical evidence that is relevant to the policy process. The definition of health policy will be broad, and will include factors that affect health but that transcend health care, and factors that only indirectly affect health, such as legal and economic considerations in medical research. Articles on social care issues will also be considered. The most important output of HEPL will be original research articles, although the editors also encourage readers to propose subjects for editorials, review articles and debate essays.

 

Call for Papers 

HEPL invites high quality contributions in health economics, political science and/or law, within its general aims and scope. The recommended text-length of articles is 6-8,000 words for original research articles, 2,000 words for guest editorials, 5,000 words for review articles, and 3,000 words for debate essays. All articles should be written in English, and should follow the instructions for contributors, which can be found at:  www.cambridge.org/journals/hep/ifc
