Health Affairs is implementing a new word limit for journal research articles.
Beginning with submissions received on or after April 1, 2024, the word limit will change from 5,000 words, including endnotes, to 3,250, excluding endnotes.
This change will allow for a tighter focus on core empirical research elements and create shorter, more accessible content for our audience.
Research papers using both qualitative and quantitative methods will be allowed a word count of 4,000 (excluding endnotes).
For more on this change, check out a newly released article from Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil.
