Implementation Science
Focus of journal /types of article wanted: Implementation Science is an Open Access, peer-reviewed online journal that
aims to publish research relevant to the scientific study of methods to promote the uptake of research findings into routine
healthcare in both clinical and policy contexts. Biomedical research constantly produces new findings - but often these are
not routinely translated into health care practice. Implementation research is the scientific study of methods to promote the
systematic uptake of clinical research findings and other evidence-based practices into routine practice, and hence to
improve the quality and effectiveness of health care. It includes the study of influences on healthcare professional and
organizations behaviour. This lack of routine uptake is strategically important for the development of healthcare as it clearly
places an invisible ceiling on the potential for biomedical research to enhance health outcomes. Further, it is scientifically
important because it identifies the behaviour of healthcare professionals and healthcare organizations as key sources of
variance requiring improved empirical and theoretical understanding before effective intervention can be reliably achieved.
Target audience: Implementation researchers, clinical governance leads, clinicians interested in quality improvement,
policy makers.
Frequency: Electronic open access.
