7 reasons to publish with the Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research
The Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research (JCER) is the partner journal of The Evidence Base®, presenting the latest peer-reviewed, evidence-based information about which healthcare interventions and strategies are most effective and for whom.
Here we outline 7 reasons to publish with JCER and how you can benefit from publishing your next article in the journal. The journal welcomes unsolicited article proposals and all enquiries can be directed to the Editor, Laura Dormer.
Indexing in all major databases
With Medline indexing and an Impact Factor of 2.1, publishing in JCER will ensure your research is widely discovered by your peers.
Diverse coverage of the field
As well as comparative effectiveness and direct head-to-head studies (including outcomes and methodology), JCER features patient-centered outcomes and health economic research in all areas of clinical interest (including real-world evidence). The journal also publishes a range of article types, including Original Research, Protocols, Reviews, Perspectives, Editorials and Short Reports, providing you with a suitable journal for even the most niche research.
Discounted open access fees for you
All JCER articles are published open access so anyone can read the content without any restrictions. Members of The Evidence Base can benefit from an exclusive 10% discount on open access fees for any new submissions received from you within up until June 1, 2024. Just quote EVBMBER when submitting.
Rapid publication
JCER offers a rapid publication route, providing submission to publication in 6 weeks, helping you to meet a specific deadline or coinciding with presentation at a forthcoming conference, such as ISPOR.
Publication enhancements
Authors can include digital features, such as infographics, graphical abstracts and videos, alongside their article, helping you increase the accessibility of your work. What’s more, we partner with Editage, who offer creative services, meaning anyone can complement their article with a digital feature.
Plain language summaries
By summarizing a scientific article in easy-to-understand language, authors can amplify the reach of research findings. JCER is also one of only a few journals publishing standalone Plain Language Summary of Publication articles – more details on the different types of plain language content published in the journal can be found here.
Leverage The Evidence Base audience
The Evidence Base sees >18,000 page views/month and has >9000 registered members, all with a specific interest in real-world evidence, HEOR and comparative effectiveness. JCER authors can discuss their article in a ‘Peek Behind the Paper’ interview published on The Evidence Base, helping to drive awareness amongst this targeted audience.
