[Hlthpol] HPF TIPS Opportunity to Publish

[Cooper, Nancy]

HI HPF and TIPS Fellows:    Dr. Robert Orenstein, Editor in Chief of the JAOA would like to include health policy articles in the journal.  He welcomes "manuscripts which provide clear overviews of public policy, legislative proposals, or other issues related to health care cost, quality, and accessibility that may impact osteopathic medicine."
Guidelines:  Health Policy manuscripts should consist of the following 5 sections: (1) a 1-2 paragraph introduction to the topic with key statistics, ending with an objective statement; (2) a 1-2 paragraph history and background of the issue being discussed; (3) a summary of the stakeholders' arguments for and against actions related to the issue (including the AOA's position, when applicable); (4) recommendations of the author; and (5) references.
Health Policy submissions do not require abstracts. Authors should limit submissions to approximately 1500 words (approximately five pages at 1.5 spacing and size 12 font) with no more than 20 references and 1 table or figure, if appropriate. Because these types of submissions are time sensitive, the JAOA will consider these to be high priority for publication once they are accepted by the editor in chief for publication (6-8 week turn around).
References should follow JAOA style, which is the same as AMA style. Reference guidelines and examples are available at http://www.jaoa.org/site/misc/ref.xhtml.
I am happy to provide editorial support prior to submission.

Consider updating one of your briefs  - or Testimony - for submission to the Journal of American Osteopathic Association - a great opportunity to share your work. NC
