Value in Health Regional Issues


Value in Health Regional Issues, ISPOR's journal for regional advancements in health economics and outcomes research (HEOR), is a peer-reviewed, MEDLINE-indexed journal that publishes applied research using HEOR methods to examine health systems, policies, and patient populations in all geographic regions. The journal's current impact factor score is 1.4 and its current CiteScore is 2.6.

The editors are interested in receiving original contributions of economic evaluations of healthcare interventions, health policy analyses, and health equity research that examine the impact on regional health policy, translate knowledge across countries, and demonstrate the broader implications to other regions. Manuscripts submitted to Value in Health Regional Issues must focus on regional populations and regional health policies, and where possible, demonstrate the broader implications to other regions.

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 all geographic regions. 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, copy editing, 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).
