Israel Journal of Health Policy Research

As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times.  Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

 Making effective health policy requires expert knowledge of an ever-changing technological, epidemiological, social, and economic context. One important vehicle for integrating expert research into the policy process is through linkages and exchanges between researchers and government officials. A recent IJHPR special article brought together perspectives from leaders in this area from the US, the UK, and Israel. This was followed by a commentary adding a Canadian perspective, and a second commentary from the UK underscoring the importance of subject-matter context.
