STM publisher Elsevier has announced the re-launch of one of Germany's oldest medical journals: ZEFQ – The Journal of Evidence and Quality in Health Care as an international, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and cross-professional journal.
ZEFQ was founded as Zeitschrift für ärztliche Fortbildung in 1904 in Jena, Germany, survived both world wars and was one of the most read medical journals of the former German Democratic Republic.
The new ZEFQ now actively encourages international submissions to provide the latest information on evidence-based medicine, quality and safety in health care. It will serve health practitioners, health care managers, researchers, policy-makers and methodologists who have an interest in evidence-based health care, health care quality improvement, patient safety and decision-making in health care.
Professor Dr. Gabriele Meyer (Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg) will be succeeding Professor Dr. Dr. Günter Ollenschläger in the role of Editor-in-Chief of ZEFQ.
The journal welcomes original research on all aspects of evidence and quality in health care, in addition to literature reviews, brief reports, and selected conference papers. ZEFQ publishes articles in both German and English.
The journal will appear ten times a year online and in print. The first issue of the re-launched ZEFQ can be read online free of charge at: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/18659217.
