Newswise — Princeton, NJ—December 6, 2016—The International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR) announced that its regional health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) publication, Value in Health Regional Issues, was recently accepted for indexing in MEDLINE®/PubMed®.
ISPOR’s Value in Health Regional Issues is an online, peer-reviewed journal published by Elsevier that focuses on HEOR research in one of three geographic regions: (1) Asia, (2) Latin America, and (3) Central and Eastern Europe, Western Asia, and Africa. Indexing in MEDLINE/PubMed allows for content in Value in Health Regional Issues to be more accessible, more searchable, and more citable to researchers around the world.
ISPOR Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director Nancy S. Berg stated, “This coveted distinction is a remarkable achievement for the Value in Health Regional Issues Co-Editors-in-Chief—Bong-Min Yang, PhD, Dan Greenberg, PhD, and Federico Augustovski MD, MSc, PhD—and for ISPOR as a whole. Having two peer-reviewed, MEDLINE-indexed journals (i.e., Value in Health Regional Issues and Value in Health) ensures that the research that ISPOR is generating and publishing is not only shaping today’s health care decisions, but is being archived as part of the scientific literature that will inform research for years to come.”
