About the journal
Biomedical advances and rapid technological change are dominant characteristics of health services in all countries. The promises of new medical technology need to be critically reviewed and balanced against available resources. The social and ethical issues related to the diffusion and use of technology are other questions of great importance in health policy and practice.The International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care serves as a forum for the wide range of professionals interested in the assessment of medical technology, its consequences for patients and its impact on society. It covers the generation, evaluation, diffusion and use of health care technology. In addition to general essays and research notes, regular columns on technology assessment reports and thematic sections are published.
Instructions to Authors
The editors welcome submissions of articles that deal with the wide range of topics related to technology assessment in health care--policy, practice, diffusion, economics, ethics, law, and social and cultural perspectives. Authors should send one original and two clean copies of their manuscript. Articles must be in English. Spelling, capitalization, and punctuation should conform with the 13th Edition of The Chicago
Manual of Style (University of Chicago Press). Articles and correspondence should be sent to: Egon
Jonsson, PhD, The Karolinska Institute and SBU (Swedish Council on Technology Assessment in Health Care), P.O. Box 5650, S-114 86 Stockholm, Sweden. All correspondence about featured special sections should be sent to: Stanley J. Reiser, MD, PhD, The University of Texas-Houston Health Science Center, P.O. Box 20708, Houston, Texas 77225, USA.
Preparation of Manuscript
The entire manuscript, including all notes and references, must be typed, double-spaced on 8 1/2 x 11
inch or A4 paper, with at least 1-inch margins. Manuscript pages should be numbered consecutively.
Manuscripts should be arranged as follows: 1) cover sheet; 2) abstract and key words; 3)
acknowledgments, including source of funding; 4) text; 5) notes; 6) references; 7) appendix; 8) tables
with titles; and 9) figures, with captions on a separate page. Manuscripts should typically include no more than 20 pages of text (6,000 words). Acronyms should be clearly spelled out on first use. The use of product trade names should be avoided; generic names should be used except where discussion of
proprietary brands is essential to the manuscript.
Cover Sheet and Cover Letter
A cover letter, signed by all authors, must attest that 1) each named author contributed to both the
conception/design and/or analysis/interpretation of the project and the writing of the paper; 2) each has
approved the version being submitted; and 3) the content has not been published nor is being considered for publication elsewhere.
As relevant to the content of the paper, the letter should also attest to the fact that any research with
human or animal subjects conforms to the legal standards of the country in which it was performed. All
authors must disclose any financial arrangements with companies whose products are discussed in the
paper or their competitors; such information will not be revealed to reviewers, but may be included in a
suitable format in the final publication if the manuscript is accepted. The cover letter should also provide all authors' full names, professional degrees, and institutional mailing addresses.
The cover sheet should list the article's title, the name, complete mailing address, telephone and fax
numbers, and e-mail address of the corresponding author, and a short title (50 characters or less) for the
running head.
Abstract and Key Words
A 100- to 250-word abstract, submitted on a separate page, should summarize the objectives of the study or analysis, the article's major arguments and/or results, and its conclusions/recommendations. Abstracts must be submitted in four sections: Objectives; Methods; Results; and Conclusions, except where the subject and/or format of the article do not permit. Three to five keywords, using terms from the Medical Subject Headings from Index Medicus, should follow the abstract.
References and Notes
Bibliographic citations in the text should be indicated by numbers in parentheses, usually at the end of the sentence after the period. When the authors are mentioned in the text, the citation number should
immediately follow the name(s) as follows:
In-text citations: ". . . Jones and Smith (7) maintained that. . . ."
The reference list must be in alphabetical order. If a work has more than five authors, the first three
authors should be listed followed by et al. Abbreviate journal titles according to the listing in the current Index Medicus.
Book: 1. Jones AB, Smith JK. Computer diagnosis and results. New York: Penta Publishers, 1998.
Journal: 1. Jones AB, Smith JK. The relationship between health needs, the hospital, and the patient. J
Chron Dis, 1995; 32:310-12.
