About the journal
As an outlet for scholarly intercourse between medical and social sciences, this noteworthy journal seeks to improve practical communication between caregivers and patients and between institutions and the public. Outstanding editorial board members and contributors from both medical and social science arenas collaborate to meet the challenges inherent in this goal.
Although most inclusions are data-based, the journal also publishes pedagogical, methodological, theoretical, and applied articles using both quantitative or qualitative methods. Topics covered include provider-patient (or family) interaction, communication and cooperation, health information, health promotion, interviewing, health public relations, and gerontological concerns
Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission: Health Communication is now using an online submission and review system, Editorial Manager, through which authors submit manuscripts and track their progress up until acceptance for publication. Authors should enter the requested information into the system and submit the following files: (a) A cover letter file, containing any comments to the editor. (b) A manuscript file (submitted in Word or WordPerfect), containing the entire text of the article, including the title page, the abstract, all text, references, footnotes, and appendixes. (c) Figures and tables, which may either be included at the end of the manuscript file or submitted as separate files. Refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for format of tables. Double-space. Please log onto http://www.editorialmanager.com/hc for information and instructions regarding registration and manuscript submission. Only original manuscripts submitted to Health Communication will be considered for publication. The cover letter should include a statement that the manuscript is not being submitted elsewhere. Manuscripts will be reviewed by at least two reviewers besides the Editor. Authors will be notified of the disposition of their manuscripts expeditiously.
Format and Organization: Manuscripts should be prepared according to the guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.) and should be no longer than 25 pages. Double-space all text, including references, figure captions, footnotes, and tables. Prepare manuscripts for blind review-authors' names and affiliations should not appear on the title page or elsewhere in the manuscript file (they can be keyed into the system and placed on a separate page in the cover letter file). The manuscript file should also include a shortened version of the title of the manuscript for use as a running head (40 characters or fewer, including spaces).
Permissions: Authors are responsible for all statements made in their work and for obtaining permission from copyright owners to use lengthy quotations (500 words or more) or to reprint or adapt tables or figures published elsewhere. Authors should write to both author(s) and publisher of such material to request nonexclusive world rights in all languages for use in the article and in future editions of it.
Content: Do not use new technical words, psychological jargon or slang, or terminology not consistent with the style guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Define any abbreviations or acronyms the first time they are used.
References: Double-space. Compile references alphabetically (see the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for multiple-author citations and references). Spell out names of journals. Provide page numbers of chapters in edited books. Text citations must correspond accurately to the references in the reference list.
Production Procedures: After a manuscript is accepted for publication, authors are asked to submit a final version of the manuscript. Files are copyedited, typeset into page proofs, and e-mailed to authors. Authors are responsible for reading of proofs and to correct errors and answer editors' queries.
Reprints: Authors may order reprints of their articles when they receive page proofs. Printing considerations do not permit the ordering of reprints after authors have returned proofs.
