We publish original research articles (both empirical and theoretical), reviews, position papers and commentaries on health issues, to inform current research, policy and practice in all areas of common interest to social scientists, health practitioners, and policy makers. The journal publishes material relevant to any aspect of health from a wide range of social science disciplines (anthropology, economics, epidemiology, geography, policy, psychology, and sociology), and material relevant to the social sciences from any of the professions concerned with physical and mental health, health care, clinical practice, and health policy and organization.All papers should be of broad interest to the international audience of general social science readers.The journal publishes the following types of contribution:Peer-re... original research articles (including methodological, theoretical and conceptual papers) and critical analytical reviews in any area of social science research relevant to health and healthcare. These papers may be up to 9000 words including abstract, tables, figures, references and (printed) appendices as well as the main text. Papers below this limit are preferred.Systematic and Scoping reviews (including Meta-analyses) of up to 15000 words including abstract, tables, figures, references and appendices as well as the main text. Review papers should use an established review methodology.Invited commentaries and responses debating, and published alongside, selected articles. Uninvited commentaries are not normally considered by any office.Special Issues bringing together collections of papers on a particular theme, and usually guest edited. If you wish to propose a Special Issue for consideration, please follow our proposal guidelines. The special issue papers are handled by the Editor in Chief.

Please refer to the descriptions below to identify the most appropriate Office and to identify the types of paper that they will consider:Medical Anthropology (Senior Editor, Alex Brewis)Topics: The Medical Anthropology office welcomes papers related to the cultural, structural, linguistic, ecological, biocultural, evolutionary, ethical, or pedagogical contexts of health and (health care) wellbeing in a complex and globalized world.Methods:The Medical Anthropology office prioritizes theoretically-situat... submissions using qualitative, quantitative, mixed, applied, and/or coproduced methodologies.Outsid... of scope:n/aHealth Economics (Senior Co-Editors Joanna Coast & Richard Smith)Topics: The Health Economics office welcomes papers concentrating on the allocation of scarce resources in relation to health and health care, including primary, secondary, tertiary and community health and care systems, as well as papers that focus on economic aspects of public health. Methods: The Health Economics office will consider empirical papers using quantitative or qualitative methods, or a mix of the two, alongside economic or other theory relevant to resource allocation. Innovative methodological or theoretical papers must be clearly focused across both health and healthcare and economics.Outside of scope:Papers using econometric methods to explore questions unrelated to resource allocation and health or ‘data mining’, and those with a narrow domestic or clinical focus are not considered suitable for the health economics office.Social Epidemiology (Senior Co-Editors Arjumand Siddiqi & Jackie Hughto)Topics: The Social Epidemiology office welcomes papers related to the social distributions and determinants of health, particularly those that engage richly with social conditions and processes in relation to health and, particularly those that center population-level inferences.Methods: The Social Epidemiology office will consider primarily quantitative and mixed-methods research. Qualitative methods will occasionally be considered if they engage with population-level inferences. We are interested in the use of social science methodologies to understand social conditions and social processes linked to health outcomes. Outside of scope:n/aHealth Psychology (Senior Co-Editors Aleksandra Luszczynska & Cecilia Cheng)Topics:The Health Psychology office welcomes papers that focus on the development, implementation, and rigorous evaluation of innovative interventions, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches, mixed methods, health equity promotion, and contextual and cultural influences.

Review and quantitative papers that are agenda-setting for medical sociology will also be considered.Outside of scope:n/aHealth Policy (Senior Co-Editors Justin Parkhurst & Winnie Yip)Topics:The Health Policy office welcomes papers that have a global orientation and bring rigorous theory and methods from social sciences to health policy and systems research. Of special interest are papers that address current policy debates affecting health and health systems, compare health politics and policies across countries and regions, and/or employ innovative theoretical perspectives.Methods... Health Policy office will consider papers utilising a range of qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods.Outside of scope:n/aHealth Geography (Senior Editor Jamie Pearce)Topics:The Health Geography office welcomes papers that consider the role of place-based processes in explaining health and health-related experiences.
