Call for papers for: International Journal of Health Governance- Special Issue (Emerald Publishing)
Health governance in lower-income countries and conflict-affected populations
The submission deadline for all manuscripts is July 31, 2024
International Journal of Health Governance is a peer-reviewed journal that promotes the evolution of governance for health and health systems to meet new challenges in the 21st century. Serving a wide readership, IJHG publishes empirical and theoretical papers that offer national perspectives, international comparisons and global approaches.
The Special Issue of International Journal of Health Governance aims to present student-led and student-assisted research, either directly relevant to health governance in LMIC and conflict-affected populations, or more general health governance research that can assist in formulating solutions for these groups. The focus on student research, whether at undergraduate or post graduate levels, is designed to encourage critical thinking on the part of upcoming researchers, scholars, and advocates. We also encourage submission of reflective accounts of the challenges faced by students while conducting research into these issues.
