About the Journal
Health Policy Sciences Journal (HPSJ) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to health policy, health systems, public health governance, healthcare management, health economics, regulation, equity, implementation science, and evidence-informed decision-making. The journal provides a platform for researchers, policymakers, health professionals, public administrators, and postgraduate students who analyze how policies are formulated, implemented, evaluated, and experienced within health systems. HPSJ welcomes interdisciplinary work that connects health science, social science, policy analysis, management, ethics, economics, and public administration to improve health outcomes and institutional performance.

The journal publishes research that examines policy design, implementation, regulation, financing, service delivery, organizational performance, health equity, health communication, and public accountability. Its scope includes empirical studies, policy analyses, program evaluations, systematic reviews, implementation research, comparative health policy, and conceptual work. HPSJ particularly encourages manuscripts that address policy effectiveness, institutional capacity, health system resilience, community participation, digital health governance, and evidence-based decision-making in diverse healthcare contexts.
