Announcing the launch of In Review
Implementation Science, in partnership with Research Square, is now offering In Review. Authors choosing this free optional service will be able to:
- Share their work with fellow researchers to read, comment on, and cite even before publication.
- Showcase their work to funders and others with a citable DOI while it is still under review.
- Track their manuscript – including seeing when reviewers are invited, and when reports are received.
Read more about the full range of benefits of In Review and how to opt in, or see the In Review platform for yourself here.
Aims and scope
Implementation Science is a pioneering, highly-accessed journal dedicated to publishing evidence regarding methods for promoting the uptake of consolidated research findings into routine healthcare practice and health policy.
Implementation Science provides a unique, multidisciplinary platform for research on implementation strategies, including their development, outcomes, economics, process by which effects are achieved, and factors associated with implementation outcomes. The journal has a particular interest in rigorous studies and novel, theory-based approaches, and covers implementation science across the full spectrum of healthcare services and settings.
