Journal Guide

OpenNano is an internationally peer-reviewed and open access journal publishing high-quality review articles and original research papers on the burgeoning area of nanopharmaceutics and nanosized delivery systems for drugs, genes, and imaging agents. The Journal publishes basic, translational and clinical research as well as methodological papers and aims to bring together chemists, biochemists, cell biologists, material scientists, pharmaceutical scientists, pharmacologists, clinicians and all others working in this exciting and challenging area.

The journal will focus on the development and use of operations research techniques in health and health care. We will publish high-quality operations research approaches to problems in health care from OR researchers and practitioners. Contributions from clinicians and those working directly in health policy and health care management are also encouraged.Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the development, adaptation and use of operations research methods to tackle problems in:• Health policy• Health analytics• Global health• Public health• Demand forecasting & capacity planning • Clinical management• Health care improvement science• Financial risk assessment and risk pooling• Costing and pricing of health services• Patient safety• Location and allocation problems in health care• Health protection, resilience and emergency planning• Disease modelling• Risk assessment and prioritisation• The design and evaluation of care pathways• Planning and scheduling health care delivery• Work force planning, rotas and rostersIn addition to original research articles, the journal will publish:Review Papers: The content and presentation of this international journal is such as to provide maximum utility to researchers, teachers and practitioners who have an interest in operations research techniques for good health care delivery.
