Editorial policy

Medical Humanities (MH) aims at being the pre-eminent medical humanities journal with high quality articles relevant to all those interested in medical humanities, particularly to health care professionals, humanities and arts scholars, social scientists and policy-makers, medical educators, and patients.

We welcome original papers from any part of the world, from all relevant approaches, as well as interesting empirical studies. We also welcome educational case studies, book, film, and art reviews, letters, personal viewpoints, and original poetry and prose relevant to the experience of illness.

Papers should be written in a non-specialist language and should ideally be readable by any well informed individual, in particular by both health care professionals without specific expertise in the humanities, arts or social sciences and by scholars in the humanities, arts or social scientist with no practical health care experience. For our part The Editors will:

Ensure that all important issues in medical humanities are welcome in the journal.

Ensure that a fair, independent peer review system is in place.

Adhere to the highest ethical standards concerning editorial and research conduct.
