The International Journal of Practical Healthcare Innovation and Management Techniques (IJPHIMT) publishes original research and reviews on practical innovations to support and manage healthcare-related issues. Aspects of interest can cover such diverse topics as bioengineering, biomechanics, modeling and simulation in healthcare, artificial intelligence and machine learning in medicine, and healthcare supply chain management. The journal publishes three types of rigorous and high-quality articles: research articles, research notes, and research reviews. Research articles are full papers presenting innovative findings that make substantial theoretical and empirical contributions to knowledge in the field by using various theoretical and methodological approaches. Research notes are novel, complete and concise high-quality research articles; they may include exploratory studies, extensions of articles previously published in IJPHIMT and summaries of doctoral theses in related areas. Research reviews are insightful and carefully crafted articles that conceptualize research areas, synthesize previous innovative findings, advance the understanding of the field, and identify and develop future research directions. Authors are welcome to submit manuscripts that qualify for any of these three categories.

IGI Global holds its journals to the highest ethical practices.
View Full Editorial PolicyArticle Processing Charge (APC):
Payment of the APC fee (directly to the publisher) by the author or a funding body is not required until AFTER the manuscript has gone through
the full double-blind peer review process and the Editor(s)-in-Chief at his/her/their full discretion has/have decided to accept the manuscript based
on the results of the double-blind peer review process.
What Does IGI Global's Open Access APC Cover?
In the traditional subscription-based model, the cost to the publisher to produce each article is covered by the revenue generated by journal subscriptions.
Under OA, all the articles are published under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license; therefore, the authors or funding body will pay a one-time
article processing charge (APC) to offset the costs of all of the activities associated with the publication of the article manuscript, including:
- Digital tools used to support the manuscript management and review process
- Typesetting, formatting and layout
- Online hosting
- Submission of the journal's content to numerous abstracts, directories, and indexes
- Third-party software (e.g. plagiarism checks)
- Editorial support which includes manuscript tracking, communications, submission guideline checks, and communications with authors and reviewers
- All promotional support and activities which include metadata distribution, press releases, promotional communications, web content, ads, fliers, brochures, postcards, etc. for the journal and its published contents
- The fact that all published articles will be freely accessible and able to be posted and disseminated widely by
the authors - Professional line-by-line English language copy editing and proofreading*
*This service is only performed on article manuscripts with fully paid (not discounted or waived) APC fees.
APC Subsidizing and Funding
To assist researchers in covering the costs of the APC in OA publishing, there are various sources of OA funding.
Additionally, unlike many other publishers, IGI Global offers flexible subsidies, 100% Open Access APC funding, discounts, and more.
