MANUSCRIPT

External authors may submit unformatted, fully referenced (using MS Word automated footnotes/endnotes, and APA style text references/bibliography) article drafts for consideration by email at: [email protected]. Enclose author(s): full name, contact info, education credentials, professional titles, occupational affiliations and funding disclosures. Tables and charts should be MS Word or Excel and placed at the end of the paper before endnotes and references. Authors have an ethical obligation to submit only original work. Plagiarism and authorship misattribution will be treated as fraud. Authors may only submit work that has not been published elsewhere.

Articles submitted to CHP are subject to formal review and critique by CHP editorial staff, CHPI affiliated researchers and independent external experts in health economics and health policy, representing diverse perspectives. CHP review is a double-blind process whenever possible, meaning that it is preferred that the author(s) not be identified to the reviewers, nor that the reviewers be identified to the author(s). CHP editorial staff manage the review process as neutral referees. Published research is ultimately open to intellectual debate, scholarly scrutiny, critical examination, empirical verification and methodological replication to assess and confirm its accuracy and validity.

If a published article is found to be in error, the author is obligated to make the corrections, then CHP will edit the article, and post an updated version with a note disclosing the changes.
