Health Open Research

Aims & Scope

Health Open Research is an open research publishing venue for researchers, practitioners and policy makers working in health, medical and social care research. The platform supports research across the three pillars of: Cause – building our understanding, examining aetiology and underpinning research; Cure – improving diagnosis and detection, development of treatments and therapeutic interventions; and Care – risk reduction, prevention and management of health conditions, social care. Health Open Research is a place to share and discover trusted research that is open, accessible, usable and reusable. This includes but is not limited to: basic scientific, translational, applied and clinical research, including quantitative and qualitative studies, in all areas of health and disease; collaborative, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research including public & patient involvement, comorbidity and multimorbidity studies; health and healthcare related research including implementation science, observational studies and clinical trials (including trial data), health systems and health services research (including sector agility); health economics, public health, social care, health promotion, health policy and practice, ethics (including patient data) and health training.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
