Journal Submission Guidelines

The STRATI Journal of Health Economics welcomes original papers from academicians, researchers and practitioners alike, and particularly encourages submissions that draw on policy-oriented theoretical and empirical research focusing on studies on the economics of substance use, the economics of obesity, economic models of the determinants of health, and the determinants of the cost of medical care.

The papers should generally be 6000-8000 words with abstract of not more than 200 words, though more substantial papers will be considered. The contributions to STRATI Journal of Health Economics reflect the interdisciplinary emphasis, which is fundamental to the journal. The papers will be double-blind refereed using an appropriate cross-section of reviewers drawn from the target interests. The journal aims for a turn-around time of three months from submission to publication to ensure rapid dissemination and dynamic discussion of ideas and results. The Editor, therefore, welcomes early contact prior to submission of manuscripts with, for example, an abstract. Book reviews are also included.

STRATI Journal of Health Economics will be of interest to academicians, researchers and practitioners working in interdisciplinary fields across the social, behavioural and medical sciences, policy and decision makers in national and local government and relevant agencies, and non-governmental organisations. The Editorial Board provides a unique mix of expertise from both the academic community and a full range of interested parties.

The STRATI Journal of Health Economics is an interdisciplinary, peer reviewed, international journal covering policy and decision-making relating to health economics in the broadest sense. Uniquely, its specific aim is to strengthen health economics research focusing on integration of economics input in health planning, designing, and evaluation and enhancing the competence in health policy analysis. The focus of the STRATI Journal of Health Economics is on health economics and policy analysis.
