About the Journal
Value in Health Regional Issues is indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE®, the Web of Science, and many other top databases. The journal publishes articles on a rolling basis but curates issues bimonthly (6 times a year) issues that feature a mix of health economics and outcomes research from the following regions: (1) Asia; (2) Central and Eastern Europe, Western Asia, and Africa; and (3) Latin America.
Articles that meet the editorial requirements for style and scope are subjected to a formal peer review. The Editorial Office strives to complete the peer review process and render decisions within 8 to 10 weeks of submission. Articles that do not fall within the journal’s scope or do not meet the standards to merit an external peer review will be evaluated internally by the editors, usually within 4 weeks.
Accepted articles are published online on the Elsevier site within 3-5 days of receipt and are assigned a DOI number, making them fully citable. These preliminary versions are replaced with the PDF after the article has undergone the production process (ie, copyediting, layout, author proofs, corrections, etc). Even though individual articles are published online on a rolling basis throughout the year, “collected articles” are published in one of 6 volumes released in odd numbered months (ie, January, March, May, July, September, and November).
