Health Services Management Research (HSMR) is an authoritative international peer-reviewed journal which publishes theoretically and empirically rigorous research on questions of enduring interest to health-care organizations and systems throughout the world. Examining the real issues confronting health services management, it provides an independent view and cutting edge evidence-based research to guide policy-making and management decision-making. HSMR aims to be a forum serving an international community of academics and researchers on the one hand and healthcare managers, executives, policymakers and clinicians and all health professionals on the other. HSMR wants to make a substantial contribution to both research and managerial practice, with particular emphasis placed on publishing studies which offer actionable findings and on promoting knowledge mobilisation toward theoretical advances.

All papers are expected to be of interest and relevance to an international audience. HSMR aims at enhance communication between academics and practitioners concerned with developing, implementing, and analysing health management issues, reforms and innovations primarily in European health systems and in all countries with developed health systems. Papers can report research undertaken in a single country, but they need to locate and explain their findings in an international context, and in international literature. HSMR also promotes invited or commissioned papers, as well as the submission of a collection of papers that could develop into a “special section” or in special issues. Candidacy as guest editor for special issues are welcome.

To achieve the journal's objectives, authors are encouraged to write in a style understandable to health managers and practitioners from other disciplines and in other countries.

Health Services Management Research (HSMR) has been accepted into the ESCI.

This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)

The journal encourages the submission of short, full-length, comparative and review articles from different backgrounds (health management, organizational psychology and sociology, applied economics, and others) and which address:

· Original primary research using qualitative or quantitative methods;

· Theoretical or methodological developments, papers that present developments in theories, concepts or models in health services management research, or developments in research methods applied to health services.

· Evidence syntheses, that present the results of secondary research – reviews of the existing research evidence conducted rigorously using recognised and accepted methods for review including (but not limited to) Cochrane systematic reviews, and realist or metanarrative reviews.

· Theory-to-pratice papers, that present the results of implementation of theoretical advances in managerial practices. They can report case studies, incidents, histories, interviews and all other forms of research that help to investigate heath management practices of organizations and systems, and their impacts and lessons.

· Perspectives papers, that aim at highlighting, framing and discussing emerging health management issues in the agenda of organizations and systems.

· Ph.D breakthroughs, that show rigorous and innovative methodological approaches and new research questions of interest for the academics and practitioners community.
