SSM - Health Systems

ISSN: 2949-8562

SSM - Health Systems specialises in publishing interdisciplinary social science research that focuses on improving health systems and resources, broadly defined to include health systems and social care and support systems that impact on health and well-being of populations around the world.SSM - Health Systems shares the same general approach to manuscripts as its companion title, Social Science & Medicine. The journal takes a broad view of its subject matter, welcoming all submissions that make important, original contributions to our understanding of how policy, practice and resource allocation can be used to improve person-centred approaches and performance, responsiveness, equity and inclusiveness of health systems. We are especially interested in publishing papers that cross disciplinary boundaries within the social sciences, drawing on perspectives that span multiple fields, including economics, political science, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and organisation studies. We impose no constraints on the methodological approaches we are willing to consider - papers employing quantitative, qualitative, participatory and mixed methods will all be welcome. Finally, we will have a special interest in publishing papers from under-represented researchers and papers concerning health systems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) from LMIC researchers.SSM Health Systems welcomes submissions of research articles (up to 9000 words), short communications (between 2000 – 4000 words), systematic/scoping reviews (up to 9000 words), and commentaries (up to 3000 words). Please visit the Guide for Authors for more information.

The Journal of Aging Research & Lifestyle

ISSN: 2534-773X

The Journal of Aging Research & Lifestyle (JARLife) is an e-only gold open access peer-reviewed journal committed to publishing high-quality research on all areas related to lifestyle and aging. The Journal has five initial sections that aim to cover the broad spectrum of lifestyle research during aging: Physical activity, exercise and aging;Nutrition and aging; Cognitive stimulation and aging; Geroscience and lifestyle; Digital aspects, lifestyle and aging. Research on other lifestyle topics not covered in the above mentioned sections are also welcome. Original investigations using all types of study designs, from observational investigations to interventions, but also qualitative studies, are accepted, as well as other types of articles, such as Reviews, Meta-Analyses, Comments/Perspectives, Letters-to-the-Editor, Methodological papers and Research Protocols. High priority is given to studies investigating the interactions of multiple health behaviors during aging, in particular, clinical trials of multidomain lifestyle interventions (when two or more lifestyle interventions are combined), as well as observational longitudinal studies that have assessed several lifestyle behaviors over time. Reports using a life-course perspective are also welcome. Although our main focus regards research in humans, cutting-edge animal studies may be considered. The Journal of Aging Research & Lifestyle is indexed in PubMed Central.
