Open access publisher BioMed Central, UK, has announced that its new multidisciplinary journal, Health Information Science and Systems, is now accepting submissions. The journal aims to integrate computer science/information technology with health science and services, embracing information science research coupled with topics related to the modeling, design, development, integration, and management of health information systems.
The journal seeks articles on research methods and conceptual insights that are healthcare motivated but could potentially be applied broadly in diverse domains, both within and outside healthcare context. Methods may be drawn from information technology, computer science, bioinformatics, biomedicine, decision science, cognitive science, psychology, management science, and statistics. Articles emphasizing information management and knowledge representation/modeling issues that arise from the storage and use of health informatics will also be considered. System descriptions are welcome if they illustrate and substantiate the underlying methodology.
Led by Editor-in-Chief, Yanchun Zhang (Victoria University, Australia), the journal has an international Editorial Board whose expertise cover the broad range of topics included in the journal. A supplement containing selected papers from the inaugural 1st International Conference on Health Information Science (HIS 2012), to be held in Beijing in April 2012, will be published in the journal.
