The Permanente Federation has announced the appointment of Dr. G. Richard Holt as editor-in-chief of The Permanente Journal, which relaunches in 2022 with a focus on health care delivery science, value-based and high-value care, and applied clinical research.
Dr. Holt is professor emeritus and teaching professor at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, with decades of experience in clinical practice and research. His appointment as editor-in-chief comes at an exciting time for The Permanente Journal, which is relaunching with a redefined mission and scope for its 2022 volume.
The Permanente Journal will strengthen the landscape of broad-scope medical and clinical journals by publishing peer-reviewed studies in health care delivery science, value-based care, high-value care, and applied research. It will also provide a forum for scholarship and discovery for the medical education community and engage in the ongoing dialogue on the importance of equity, inclusion, and diversity in medicine.
Dr. Holt has served in past roles as editor-in-chief for The Southern Medical Journal; Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine (now published as Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance); and Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery. He specializes in otolaryngology–head and neck surgery and brings with him a background in bioethics and health policy.
The Permanente Journal is open for submissions by clinicians and researchers from all institutions, with representation from the entire care team. The journal will prioritize papers on topics in line with its new Aims and Scope, as well as continue to provide a platform for clinical medicine literature. The Permanente Journal is indexed in PubMed and PubMed Central. It is fully open access, and authors enjoy broad worldwide distribution without article-processing charges.
