Health Care Science, a peer-reviewed academic journal written in English, was launched at Tsinghua University in Beijing on Saturday.

With open access, it aims to provide a platform for researchers, policymakers and innovators to share knowledge in, mainly, seven academic sections, namely, health policy and medical ethics, healthcare evaluation and health economics, public health management, medical technologies and devices, medication use management, data science and health informatics as well as healthcare management in low- and middle-income countries.

The journal especially welcomes articles based on quantitative methods with emphasis on specific healthcare settings which will have an impact on real-world operation and policymaking or about emerging hot topics in healthcare.

According to Zhang Zongjiu, the editor-in-chief and executive deputy dean of the university's Institute for Hospital Management, the journal was founded in the context of the current global spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and a variety of chronic non-communicable diseases that continue to challenge global healthcare systems.

By focusing on healthcare management driven by technological innovation and bringing together multidisciplinary professionals, it will further add to the improvement of healthcare service quality, the promotion of medical system reform and disease prevention strategies as well as the acceleration of scientific research and new technology applications.

The journal will promote exchanges and cooperation in healthcare management and medical and health services. It will also expand the international influence of China's researches in this field, says Wang Xiqin, principal of the university.

He adds that the launch of the journal is part of Tsinghua's effort to strengthen the construction of world-class sci-tech journals and its strive to become a world-class university.
