Call for Papers

Evidence synthesis—including systematic reviews with narrative, qualitative, and/or quantitative synthesis—is an important set of approaches to summarizing multiple sources of evidence, as well as identifying methods and evidence gaps in the field of health economics and outcomes research (HEOR). Evidence synthesis provides a strong foundation for the development of evidence-informed best practice recommendations and new methods and applications. Evidence synthesis and meta-analyses are also important ways of obtaining data inputs for economic models used to assess the value of health technologies.

Recognizing the inherent usefulness of evidence synthesis, the Editors of Value in Health are issuing an open Call for Papers reporting evidence synthesis on a wide array of topics in HEOR that seek to inform healthcare decision making. Papers on evidence synthesis are welcome on any topic in HEOR that lies within the aims and scope of Value in Health. Studies can address any aspect of the methods and evidence used to assess the value of healthcare, but papers reporting reviews of studies containing only clinical endpoints are out of scope for this call.

Authors should submit manuscripts through the journal's online submission system at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/valueinhealth. Also, be sure to indicate in your cover letter that the paper is to be considered as a systematic review.
