The Health Policy and Planning initiative enhances the development, delivery and assessment of health policy in low and medium incomes developing and transition economies by offering a platform for the publication of high-quality research and inventive thinking to an audiences of health policy makers and research and practice professionals.... The HPP has a double-blind policy of reviewing peers. You can find a check list for writers here.

In addition to the high overall grade needed for publishing in an internationally renowned journals, writers should also be considered: Address the HPP readership: policy and decision making professionals, policy professionals, scientists and general public with a special interest in health policy topics and debate. Any manuscript that does not present the global debate to which the document relates and does not learn political lesson and conclusion is more likely to be refused, sent back to the author for review before review, or undergoes a slow approval procedure.

It is important for economists obey that paper acceptable for HPP publishing takes into account the general policy impact of an economics assessment and does not focus primarily on the methodology or theory of the paper. Health care professionals who write about a particular health issue or a particular health care provision should consider the importance of the assessment for the wider health care system.

Respondents to health policy assessments should base their assessment on pertinent theoretical foundations or explain why they have not done so, rather than simply presenting a story drawn from evidence. Writers may not correspond about documents deemed unfit for disclosure and their decisions are definitive. No publisher or publisher accepts any liability for the opinions express by the author in their work.

Subject to the editorial right to make changes to the submissions, the editorial staff will, if possible, obtain the agreement of the author to substantial changes. Manuscripts will not be given back to the author after they have been handed in, unless explicitly asked to do so. English language versions only will be taken into account for publishing. Preparing your script, complete with spreadsheets, with a text editor, saves it as a document, text editor, etc. document, pdf or PDF format.

Using a min. of 11, two-line, paged fonts, complete with credentials and spreadsheets, with a margin of at least 2.5 cm. Characters should be created with a well-known PC bundle. Color numbers are allowed, but the author is obliged to bear the costs of reproducing them.

Note that the demands on submitting and reproducing your work on-line in the magazine are different: i) For on-line entry and peak reviews, please submit your numbers individually as low definition pictures (.jpg, ipg,. fif, . gif or. eps); ii) for publication in the Magazine, you must provide high definition file formats after your approval.

It is recommended that you produce your high-resolution pictures first, as these can readily be transformed into low-resolution pictures for on-line upload. The numbers are not published by the editor. This magazine has the right to limit the image sizes. Persons shown in photos should keep their identities secret or have given their prior permission for disclosure in writing.

During the creation of shapes, care must be taken that the text is large enough to be used. A lot of shapes contain tiny signs, such as numbers in a diagram or graphic. Some picture sizes like . jpg and . gif do not have a high resolution, so you can store your pictures and paste them as . toif.

Useful information for the preparation of your numbers for publishing can be found at http://cpc.cadmus.com/da. General information on the International System of Units and some useful translation coefficients can be found under "The SI for the Health Professions" (WHO 1977). There must be a text field in the script files. The title page, illustrations and charts should be submitted seperately.

It is the policy of the periodicals that subscribe to this declaration to only consider originals for the purpose of publications that have not yet been made public. Because of the increase in the use of digital printing and the growing number of documents and articles created by organisations and agents, there are more and more issues about what is an earlier version of a work.

Research results can be distributed before they are submitted to a magazine for distribution for legitimate reason. First is the value of the review procedure. Previous publishing regulations are designed to ensure a certain level of trustworthiness of published research. Paper is often enhanced during the Peer Reviews procedure, with the results, conclusion and recommendation sometimes being modified in reaction to the evaluators' comment.

If there were several different editions of a document in the general population, the general publics and political decision-makers could be bewildered or deceived. Secondly, journals have little room and a lot of patience and cost is required to evaluate, publish and distribute them. Here we are discussing different ways of disseminating and giving guidance on the issue of previous publishing.

• Rule One: If the footage in an article has already been distributed to the public of a magazine, especially in a form that looks like an end work, then it is unlikely that a second release is deserving of publication in the magazine. - Rule Two: It is the writers' duty to inform the writers at the moment of submitting the work whether the content of the work has been previously distributed in any way so that the writers can decide whether they wish to continue with the verification or not.

Presenting a contribution at a conference or seminar usually does not jeopardise the opportunity for publishing. The distribution of "Working Papers" to a restricted readership usually does not endanger the publishing. A number of working document collections are used by many organisations to enable scientists to receive criticism from colleagues. This Directive covers working documents that are published by the writer or a company and not by a publishers, are not made publicly available and are identified as draft documents that will be reviewed in the course of time.

The HPP will not publicise any work for which a similar working pamphlet is already publicly available. Publishing on the web may endanger the publishing of journals. On the other hand, if a piece of work is published on the web only to make it easier for peers to communicate with each other in order to get input, and no effort has been made to draw the journalist's, the public's or the wider research community's interest to it, then it is unlikely to exclude the possibility of journals being published.

Generally, if publishing on the web fulfils similar function to presenting at symposia - which facilitates the creation of contributions and the enhancement of research, influences subsequent reviews and is not a "finished" project - it will not be regarded as a previous release. However, if the website publishing acts as a physical copy of a traditional publishing, which may even be protected by copyright by the publishing company, the usefulness of an extra publishing in the magazine will be thoroughly examined.

However, in cases where there was little or no publication exposition at the point of submitting a contribution to the magazine, the conditions under which publication is likely to result in high exposition (press reports, etc.), the writer should delete a contribution as a prerequisite for further review of the work.

Writers who publish contributions on a website and do not want them to represent a previous posting should also publish a declaration of publicity, such as "These drafts of a document are for reference and comment only. "This declaration should be retained during the verification procedure and until actual acceptance of the work for posting in a magazine on the website.

As soon as they are approved, the writers should send a notice to the editor indicating this: "There will be a reworked definitive edition of this document in (Journal Name), Band, Edition. "Author should also add this to each page of the document as a headline or footnote. Distribution activities of trusts, governments, research institutions and other organisations supporting or carrying out research may supplement publishing in peer-reviewed periodicals.

Organisational releases should be made in a timely manner to match or match the release of a peer-reviewed periodical and appropriate copyrighted permission has been obtained. Official, formally released articles that have undergone an editing procedure, are designed to appeal to a broad public, and are released and made available to any interested person (whether free of charge or not), are generally not taken into consideration for the publishing of periodicals.

Papers drawn up on the basis of such reports may be envisaged for public disclosure if they differ sufficiently in terms of focus or intention. If so, the writer should declare at the filing date (or before) how the document is different from the previously published document and why its release would constitute a separate and important article beyond this one.

Where the results of a research have been disseminated on a local basis (i.e. in a particular country) to influence the political debate in that particular state, even if the letter is available on the Internet, we may consider the publication of an essay as long as (i) the letter has not been widely distributed abroad and (ii) the letter is clearly aimed at the policy-determining audience and therefore does not contain the detail discussions of methodologies and perhaps results that might be expected in a magazine essay.

When the results of a working document have become widely known through coverage in the press (or even when the broad public's perspective persists during the review) and the working document is easily accessible to interested reader (e.g. via a website), an assessment will be made as to whether it would be appropriate to publish it in journals.

Writers can help safeguard their work from undesirable publicity by making it clear in work designs, conference presentations, and other releases that it is a design that has not yet been reviewed for public disclosure and that observations and inferences are changeable. Writers should also require that all "stories" from interview with the press be placed under an embargo until the work is republished or approved by the publishers (see e.g. Fontanarosa, P.B. and C.D. DeAngelis).

Meaning of the embargo journaling. 288 : 748-750). Every acceptable script that is published to the public should contain the explanation: "There will be a reworked definitive edition of this document in (Journal Name), Band, Edition. "The guidelines for journals that include the author's contacts with members of the press may differ according to the edition or magazine.

Therefore, writers should contact the publisher before talking to representatives of the press or posting articles. Unlike the editorial staff's judgement as to whether a particular piece of work has been too widely distributed to justify the publishing of journals, there is little judgement as to whether an individual should reveal prior distribution.

Before or at the moment of submitting a document that has been distributed in one of the ways previously debated, writers should inform the publisher so that a decision can be made before the document enters the Peer Reviews procedure. At the same of course the writers should describe in which way the work was distributed before and how the handed in script distinguishes itself from the published Version.

Authors may be susceptible to a revised copy of a document that has been widely distributed if the submission has a different focal point (e.g. more weight on methodologies, more refined analytical approaches or discussions about evolutions that have taken place since it was first distributed). At the heart of this is informing reviewers of any distribution that has taken place or is likely to take place prior to the publication of the magazine item, rather than having it detected during or after the reviews or editing work.

When submitting, writers should enclose a copy of other related works that can be considered as the same work. Non-presentation could exclude publishing in the magazine or, if already posted, lead to a note in the magazine about the error and lead to a withdrawal of the articles.

It should set out the purposes of the study and give a brief overview of the relevant bibliography, followed by an introduction: Information should be presented as succinctly as possible, where appropriate in the format of spreadsheets or graphs, while avoiding very large spreadsheets. Discussion should be an understanding of the results and their relevance to the work of other writers.

Do not use an abbreviation in the title. General information on the International System of Units and some useful translation coefficients can be found under "The SI for the Health Professions" (WHO 1977). If more than two writers cite works, only the first writer is mentioned, followed by "et al." and the year.

References must be entered in two lines in an alphabetic order and must contain the full titles of the document (or chapter) and periodical (or book): the place of publication: Table All table should be on seperate pages and should be preceded by a heading and a footnote. You should number the table with Arabian numbering.

Do not overfill the charts or use words excessively. Table formats should be the same as those normally used by the journaling; in particular, do not use verticals, colored text, or shadowing. Make sure that the information in the table is accurate. Spreadsheets should be provided as Word or Excel spreadsheets.

Public health policy and planning welcome the submission of the following type of articles: "10 best resources"[e.g. see David & Haberlen, HPP, 20(4): 260-3].

" See above for confirmations, numbers and actions. It is preferable that a manuscript should contain a minimum of 10,000 words, without charts, graphs and citation. In general, they cover recent progress in health policy, health care delivery schemes and outcomes. In the case of an author who submits a non-racial paper, the paper should state why it was not possible/desirable to do so and the description of the method should be as clear and reproducible as possible.

Manuscripts are usually guided through sections: Spreadsheets and illustrations should not be placed within the text, but in seperate files. EQUATOR Network (http://www.equator-network. org) and the MIBBI portal for prescription check lists for coverage of biology and biomedicine research.

Writers are asked to use these in their manuscripts and evaluators are asked to consult these check lists when assessing these papers. Brief comments on current topics in healthcare are welcome - please send an e-mail to the editor before submitting. The majority of these comments will be ordered by the editor, but the magazine will also consider unscheduled contributions.

Comments should be of great interest to health policy and planning audiences, and although they are not research, they should be well-founded. It is preferable that scripts contain a minimum of 1,200 words, without charts, graphs and citation. As a rule, the script will contain a brief sentence of important takeaway notices.

Spreadsheets and illustrations should not be placed within the text, but in seperate files. Controversial research or analysis techniques should be well understood and clearly defined: this type of papers should not deal with methodology debate, but should help to spread and encourage the use of recognised techniques.

It is preferable that scripts contain a minimum of 3,000 words without charts, figures/diagrams and citation. Paragraphs must be ordered as follows: i) cover page (as above), ii) abstract, iii) introductory, iv) bodies of the document, and v) citation.

These 10 Best are a set of papers that identifies and outlines the 10 most useful resource from a number of different source to help better understand a particular topic in the field of overall health. See above for confirmations, numbers and actions. The aim of this group is to deal with methodical questions of health policy and system research which currently do not have a clear picture of acceptable research methodologies.

The aim of this group is to assist the research area Health Policy and Policies in its evolution by providing assistance for a methodical debate. It is preferable for manuscripts to have a length of no more than 3,000 words, without charts, figures/diagrams and citation.

Brief summaries are stories from the point of view of health professionals working at either federal or sub-national levels who concentrate on innovation in strengthening health care delivery mechanisms. They should emphasise the hands-on experiences of health professionals or health professionals engaged in actions to reinforce health care delivery via innovation and new practice.

It is preferable that the new actions and practice be carried out for a period of sufficient duration to enable the author to prove the sustainable viability of improving or changing the health care system. For example, there may be practice in building capacities, developing new partnership or restructuring relations within health care deliveryystems. Manuscripts are usually guided through sections:

Spreadsheets and illustrations should not be placed within the text, but in seperate files. Subcategories can be useful in the bulk of the document to indicate core items of the experiences that have been declared. Reporting must be done by locals, business leaders or policy decisionakers.
