Topics and content are strictly up to the authors. Some possible topics include the enterprises of science and medicine, the adverse effects of drugs, the future of medical research and surgery, and the future of acute hospital care. Empirical works with analyses of impacts and outcomes are preferred. Changes in ethics, values, and norms and the ramifications are important considerations. Ditto for the development of suggestions of new laws and public programs.
Methodology is critically important too.
Articles on the sociology of science, medical research, and the policy process are critically important as well. Regular articles should be 5000-7000 words. Point of view articles should be 3000 to 5000 words. We prefer end of sentences citations and listing of sources. Tables and graphics should be placed at the preferred location in the narrative.
