The Sociology of Health Gateway aims to provide stakeholders across academia, industry and policy with a space to read and share research about health and human society. This research includes a broad range of topics: social determinants of health, health inequity and injustice, health policy, the economics of health and healthcare, gender and health, and ethnicity and health, to name a few. The Gateway also publishes research on social and cultural responses to health, illness and treatment. The Gateway welcomes articles in any of these important topics, as well as broader, interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research related to health or medical sociology.
The Gateway facilitates and accelerates research in these areas by providing rapid, open access publication with links to all underlying data. As an open research venue, the Gateway requires authors to make any data underpinning their findings available to readers and reviewers via a suitable data repository. For details, please see our
Data Guidelines.
The range of
article types offered by F1000Research—Research Articles, Reviews, Case Studies, Data Notes, Method Articles, Opinion Articles, Software Tools, Policy Briefs, and more—enables the dissemination of all research outputs as openly and quickly as possible. Each article will undergo fully transparent post-publication peer review following the F1000Research
publication model.
