Q: Which journals would be interested in publishing an article on home health monitoring?
Hello, I'd like to publish my opinion paper which is on Home Health Monitoring and Mental Health: an area of healthcare that is really booming and many would be interested in. However I'm having difficulty trying to figure out who to contact for publication as I don't have contacts for this sort of stuff.
The field of home health monitoring is indeed an upcoming area of healthcare. However, I’m not sure what exactly you would like to write about in your opinion piece. While I don’t think there would be any journal that caters exclusively to this field, journals that publish on home care, nursing, mental health, etc. may be interested in this topic.
You can find relevant journals on the website of DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals). You can either conduct an advanced search or browse subjects and see if you find any journal that might suit your topic. You can also search for articles on similar topics on Google Scholar and check which journals they were published in. Use different keywords such as "e-health," "telehealth," "online healthcare," etc. Once you have shortlisted a few journals, write a pre-submission inquiry to each of them to find out if they would be interested in your paper. Even if some of them are not interested, they might direct you to relevant journals.
