The first six articles, now available online, reflect a range of health policy research and commentary topics. The Health Affairs Scholar editorial team introduces the new journal by setting out ten emerging health policy issues for the next ten years.
They welcome new research and commentary in these ten areas as well as other emerging and global health policy subjects.
The mission of open access is to democratize knowledge by providing readers worldwide with the ability to reuse and build upon others’ work. In doing so, it can accelerate research
innovation and spark breakthroughs.
HA Scholar aims to fill a gap by focusing on health policy, an array of multidisciplinary fields, and intersecting issues not often addressed in "legacy" health policy journals.
The journal welcomes contributions that offer policy lessons and insights from around the world.
By combining a focus on health policy with an OA model and an editorial team composed of leading scholars
across a broad range of disciplines and institutions, HA Scholar offers several potential benefits to authors and readers.
In particular, the journal includes:
• Content freely accessible to a worldwide audience. • Articles published rapidly online, accelerating the dissemination of research
addressing timely policy issues. Expedited consideration will be given to articles transferred from Health Affairs. • Diverse voices and perspectives in health research.
Authors with funding mandates can be fully compliant with their open access requirements.
