The philosophy and values underpinning recruitment and selection for the JoHS Editorial Board is set out below. The strategy reflects the aim, target audience and breadth of simulation applications.
The Editorial Board composition will reflect the breadth of the target audience. Additionally, the diverse research approaches used to study healthcare simulation requires a Board with methodological diversity too. From the outset of JoHS, gender diversity has been valued. However, we take a wider view of diversity also considering at minimum country of work, ethnicity and professional discipline. As an international journal, it is important that our board truly reflects an international audience. We may also invite JoHS sponsoring societies as members.
There is one Editor-in-Chief (EIC), four Senior Editors (SE), up to 15 Associate Editors (AEs) and up to 15 Editors (Es).
The role of Editorial Board members entail:
The Journal of Healthcare Simulation - Advances in Theory & Practice (JoHS) is a single-blind peer-reviewed open access journal.
The journal is a member of Crossref and is actively exploring opportunities for inclusion in the leading scientific indexes. Each article is given a unique digital object identifier (DOI), these are shared with the scientific community through channels including Crossref and Google Scholar.
