Submissions & Reviewers
SUBMISSIONS:
Our submission categories include Research Articles, Research Briefs, Industry Insights, and Patient Perspectives.
Submissions should offer valuable contributions to the field of patient experience, with clear implications for practice or policy.
We welcome submissions that focus on clinician and workforce experience.
We encourage articles that bridge the gap between research and real-world application, offering insights that can be implemented to improve patient outcomes and experiences.
- Research Article submissions are typically characterized by a systematic investigation into specific aspects of patient experience, aiming to contribute new knowledge or validate existing theories. This article type must present original research conducted by the author(s) demonstrating innovative outcomes, processes, or applications to enhance patient care experiences, engagement, and satisfaction. Research methods may include qualitative, quantitative, and experimental studies, provided they adhere to high academic standards in methodology and data analysis.
- Patient Perspectives articles amplify the voices of those who experience the health and care system firsthand, contributing to a deeper understanding of patient needs, challenges, and outcomes. Submitting authors must identify in roles including (though not limited to): Patients who have directly experienced health and care services and/or Caregivers who have supported a patient through their healthcare journey and/or Relatives who have been involved in a patient’s care and/or Consumers of health and care products or services. Perspectives should be supported by relevant research, data, or literature that provides context and enhances the credibility of the insights shared. While clinicians, professionals, researchers, and other experts are invited, perspective must represent the lens of the “patient”.
- Industry Insights articles are authored by professionals, clinicians, researchers, and other experts working within the health and care industry. Insights include expert perspectives, experiences, and observations on current trends, challenges, and innovations. Articles should be supported by relevant research, data, or literature that provides context and enhances the credibility of the insights shared. Authors reference a range of existing literature, including peer-reviewed studies, meta-analyses, and relevant industry reports, to enhance the validity and reliability of their perspectives. This article type provides a bridge between academic research and practical application, offering valuable contributions to ongoing discussions within the health and care sector.
- Research Brief articles present original research that may not be suitable for a full-length “Research Article” type. This article type provides space to present preliminary findings, such as pilot studies or projects with smaller sample sizes. The brief should address an important patient experience issue and clearly outline the implications of methodological limitations. Briefs often demonstrate early trending outcomes, processes, or applications that may enhance patient care experiences, engagement, and satisfaction.
Please note: We do not publish articles focused primarily on clinical outcomes. All submissions must align with the mission to transform health and care experiences. Visit Sage Publishing for full submission details.
