Dear Prof CERASALE MORTEO,

I am delighted to announce that our new open access journal Hepatology, Medicine and Policy is now open for submissions.

Aims and Scope

Hepatology, Medicine and Policy seeks to situate biomedical advances in hepatology within the broader political and social context that determines the ultimate impact of research in both resource-rich and resource-limited settings. The journal emphasises the translation of evidence into action, in part by encouraging the authors of original research articles to present their findings in ways that are meaningful to policy-makers, advocates and community members.

Why do we need a new hepatology journal? – Blog

As we celebrated the 5th World Hepatitis Day on the 28th of July, we reflected on the progress in combating this group of diseases. It was also an opportunity to ask what more needs to be done. Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey V. Lazarus tells us why the journal fills an important gap in hepatology research. Read the full blog post.

Do you have a new study to publish?

Hepatology, Medicine and Policy (HMAP) considers articles on the prevention and management of viral and non-viral hepatitis and other liver disorders, including articles on the public health, policy and biomedical dimensions of these conditions.
