5 Appendix C2: Description and Scope of Journal Editorial objectives The Journal of Health Organization and Management (JHOM) supports the development and sharing of knowledge within the fields of health organization and management. It prioritises critical exploration and promotes analyses from a diverse range of theoretical and applied perspectives dealing with health issues in the broadest sense. JHOM provides an international forum for the exchange of innovative and methodologically diverse studies and analyses. Editorial criteria Research papers based on both empirical and theoretical perspectives are actively encouraged. In addition to papers which take a traditional approach to health organization and management, the journal invites critcal contributions which question the established paradigms. The journal seeks not only contributions that are complete in their conception and analysis but also contributions from academics, students and practitioners who wish to explore their ideas as they are in the process of development. Empirical and theoretical work which draws upon a wide range of disciplines and perspectives is sought. Through the viewpoints and new perspectives sections JHOM also welcomes shorter pieces (3,000 words) that are state of the art reviews of the existing knowledge base and provocative but scholarly reviews that contribute new ways of thinking about health organization and management analysis and discourse. Coverage International perspectives and comparisons of health improvement and wellbeing Organizational strategies, structures, cultures and dynamics of health care services Management, leadership and governance of health care services The inter-relationship of health and other areas of public policy and how these contribute to health improvement and wellbeing Management and leadership education, development and training in healthcare services Industrial relations, human resource theory and management of healthcare services Health systems organization, financing and delivery Relationships between managers and clinicians Topicality As the demands on health care systems intensify, effective management of financial and human resources, restructuring of organizations and the handling of market forces are increasingly important topics for research and development. Key benefits The journal provides an international forum for the exchange of new knowledge and ideas surrounding organization and management issues in health care. Readers are kept up-to-date with the latest developments in healthcare management theory and practice. Key journal audiences Academics teaching or researching in the field of health care organization and management Health care professionals and researchers Health care managers Students of management and organizational behaviour

6 Appendix C3: Recommendations from eminent scholars in the relevant field JHOM is the international journal of choice for those researchers and practitioners working at the crucial interface between the OB field and health care. It produces extremely important research findings of high impact and consistent quality. Editors Suzanne Robinson and Helen Dickinson are amongst the most respected in the field, and their efforts to improve the journal s reach, relevance and authority in recent years have borne considerable fruit and are well known across the international community. I am on the Editorial Board for precisely these reasons, and am proud to be so. It is obvious to me and my international colleagues that JHOM should be recognised by being upgraded in the Australian ABDC rankings. Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite, PhD, Foundation Director, Australian Institute of Health Innovation; Director, Centre for Clinical Governance Research; Professor of Health Systems Research; Faculty of Medicine, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia The Journal of Health Organization and Management has made an impact by the strategic use of special issues on subjects such as leadership, emotions, trust and power within healthcare (to name a few). It publishes high quality quantitative and qualitative articles. Dr. Anthony Montgomery, University College Cork, Ireland "The Journal of Health Organisation and Management produces highly stimulating and relevant material of great interest to a wide range of health related disciplines." - Craig Mitton, University of British Columbia, Canada The Journal of Health Organisation and Management occupies a unique place in the realm of health services publications. It attracts and publishes high value studies from internationally recognised authors. The journal influences both theory and practice, exposing readers to a ideas and research that question the often taken for granted assumptions of organisation studies in health care. Both our research and our coursework students, as well as our Program and Faculty members, utilise the journal as a first point of reference on issues of organisational behaviour in this field. As a reviewer for the journal I can attest to the editorial competence and equally important, vision of the Editors. It is clear to myself, my colleagues and the next generation of health services researchers and practitioners that JHOM should be upgraded in the Australian ABDC rankings.
