Writing for OHE

OHE Research - Looking for Authors

The OHE seeks authors writing on the following topics from an economic and/or policy perspective:

• the financing and organisation of health care systems;
• the competitiveness, regulation and structure of the pharmaceutical industry;
• pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement;
• the economics of prescribing and medicines use;
• economic evaluation of healthcare technology;
• health and health care statistics.

OHE offers authors the opportunity to have their work published as OHE Briefings (2,000-10,000 words), as monographs or as books. OHE offers a choice on remuneration : authors may opt to receive a fee or a royalty. All publications are peer reviewed by members of the Editorial Board, they are professionally produced, and made available in both printed and electronic forms.

OHE authors are expected to deal with economic and policy issues in plain English, and in a way that will interest non-economists as well as economists.
