Scope [edit]
The journal publishes interdisciplinary research in areas such as economic, statistical, political and policy analysis of health human resources - covering the medical, nursing, dentistry, allied health professional, health services management, and related workforces.
The journal occasionally publishes themed collections. In 2007, the journal issued a call for papers jointly with 17 other public health journals under the theme "Towards a scaling-up of training and education for health workers".[3] Twenty-two articles were published in Human Resources for Health on this special theme between July 2008 and November 2009.[4]
History of the journal [edit]
The Human Resources for Health journal first started publishing, in electronic format only, in April 2003. It was preceded by the Human Resources Development Journal, an independent journal published in print format between 1997 and 2001 by the Health Manpower Development Institute of the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand.[5]
