The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Health care, Health policy, Economic growth, Nursing and Public relations. The Health care works featured in the journal incorporate elements from Public economics, MEDLINE, Actuarial science, Family medicine and Government. The research on Health policy tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Public administration and Health promotion.
Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Health promotion but it intersects with the subject of Health education. It features studies on Economic growth, including topics such as Health care reform. It focuses on Nursing research which is adjacent to topics in Quality (business).
The in-depth study on Public relations also explores topics in the intersecting field of Context (language use).
The most cited papers mainly tackle studies in Health care, Health policy, Economic growth, Nursing and MEDLINE. The journal publications focus on Health care but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Public economics, Actuarial science, Family medicine, Public relations and Public health. The published papers hold forums on Health policy that merge themes from other disciplines such as Health services research and Health promotion.
The journal mainly tackles studies in Health care, Pandemic, Health policy, Public health and Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In it, Context (language use), Corporate governance, Public relations, Public administration and Payment are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Health care research. The studies on Payment discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Incentive and Actuarial science.
The studies in Pandemic featured incorporate elements of Economic growth and Preparedness. The concepts on Health policy presented in Health Policy can also apply to other research fields, including Public economics and Public policy. It focuses on Public health as well as the interrelated topic of Government.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Health Policy (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Health Policy (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 4.85% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.46% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.80% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.67% of all publications and 49.07% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
Though we routinely delve into established research topics such as Health care, Health policy, and Economic growth, it's also important to consider emerging fields and specializations. One growing domain of interest is the field of marriage and family therapy. This discipline ties into our established areas of discussion, intersecting with the subject of family health, public relations, and psychology. As innovation continues to shape the field of health care research, it's imperative to broaden our perspective by considering new subsets of study like marriage and family therapy. For instance, becoming a Marriage and family therapist requires specific educational and licensing requirements. This role involves helping individuals, couples, and families navigate emotional and mental health issues, often working closely with other healthcare professionals for a holistic approach to patient care. Maintaining a keen interest in such emerging fields not only keeps us ahead in health care research but also allows us to contribute to the overall development and understanding of newer disciplines. The curative potential of fields like marriage and family therapy must not be overlooked in our quest for health care advancement.
