UKnowledge Launches Fourth Journal:
Frontiers
in Public Health Services and Systems Research
is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that aims to shorten the turnaround
time between research results and publication in a traditional journal. Frontiers
is produced monthly through a collaboration of the Public Health Practice-Based
Research Networks Program Office and the National Coordinating Center for
Public Health Services and Systems Research. Both Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation-funded centers are based at the University of Kentucky College of
Public Health.
Frontiers features brief descriptions of
preliminary findings from ongoing or recently completed studies and quality
improvement projects that answer important questions regarding the
organization, financing, and delivery of public health services; the structure,
operation, and management of public health delivery systems; the application of
quality improvement methods in public health settings; and the impact of these
endeavors on population health. An editorial comment accompanies each article,
highlighting the lessons for public health practice, policy, and future
research.
Thanks to Robert Shapiro, Public Health Librarian in the Medical
Center Library and Managing Editor of Frontiers, and Pat Wilson, Director of
UKnowledge, for moving this initiative forward.
