Health Services

Publish your Health Service research fast, openly and without restrictions

Health Services are a complex and continually changing area of study, so rapid and transparent sharing of robust science is fundamental to help clinicians, institutions, and systems to improve the quality of their medical care.

F1000Research's innovative publication model enables the rapid and transparent dissemination of research by providing fast, open publication alongside immediate access to any underlying data, software code and resources. Our Open Access platform allows researchers to publish a wide range of research outputs - from traditional Research Articles to more unique formats, such as Study Protocols, Data Notes, and Method Articles. Additionally, all articles undergo transparent, invited post-publication peer review before being indexed in PubMed Central and Scopus, with expert reviews freely available for anyone to read.

We welcome articles covering all areas of Health Services including, but not limited to:

Digital Health
Health System Quality & Safety
Healthcare Delivery
Healthcare Finance & Economics
Healthcare & Social Policy
Healthcare Management & Governance
Health Informatics

Our unique publication model, combined with our progressive Open Data Policy, makes F1000Research the perfect home for transparent, reproducible research.
