Health (United Kingdom)

Scope

Health: is published six times per year and each number offers a mix of articles that inform or provoke debate. The readership of the journal is wide and drawn from different social science disciplines and the humanities, particularly sociology, social psychology, social and cultural theory, and critical policy studies. The journal prioritises papers taking an explicit and nuanced theoretical position within the social science and humanities literature. Widely abstracted, Health: ensures authors an extensive and informed readership for their work. It also seeks to offer authors as short a delay as possible between submission and publication. Most articles are reviewed within 4-6 weeks of submission and those accepted are published within a year of that decision. The journal features an international group of co-editors. The journal operates a system of blind peer review for all submitted papers, including those invited by the editors, and those appearing in Special Numbers which may be guest edited. The journal only publishes papers where the proposed contents have been selected by a general call for papers.
