We need you.
Sie kennen „Monitor Versorgungsforschung“ und nutzen die Inhalte unserer Fachzeitschrift in Studium, Forschung und ihrer tagtäglichen Arbeit. Und während Sie gerade dabei sind, das ihnen hier vermittelte Wissen einzusortieren und zu verarbeiten, ist die Redaktion schon wieder dabei, die nächsten Ausgaben vorzubereiten. Sie können sicher sein: Jedes Thema wurde mit viel Liebe und Sorgfalt ausgesucht und aufgearbeitet, damit aus purer Information Wissen wird. Seit vielen Jahren stellen wir das so entstandene Wissen, dank der finanziellen Invests unser Herausgeberbeiräte (ohne jeglichen Einfluss auf die Redaktion zu nehmen, wofür wir allen ganz herzlich danken), „open access“ und absolut kostenfrei zur Verfügung. Nun brauchen wir auch Sie, ja genau Sie: Finanzieren auch Sie uns. Am besten durch ein subscription or a small amount, no matter the amount, one-off or regular.

Knowledge makes you healthy. Knowledge is worth something!
Health services research has become established. Since 2008, the scientific specialist medium “Monitor Health Care Research” has created the link between health care management, science and politics, in which health care researchers exchange ideas on a scientific level, but in which, in the editorial area, all those who are more interested in the topic of health care research as users or as commissioners - whether on the cash, political or industrial side. Since 2015, all articles have been published “open access” and free of charge. Both our publishing behavior and our ethics are based on the “Code of Conduct for Journal Editors” and the guidelines of the German Association of Magazine Publishers (VDZ). We – the editorial team and the publisher – always strive to find and research the topics that you need and have learned to value in your daily work – and we are always open to suggestions. Whether in print or online: So far you can read or download all content (thanks to all subscribers and our editorial boards who support us financially) “open access” free of charge - in contrast to many other specialist media that protect their content with paywalls. “Monitor Healthcare Research” has not done this and – as of today – will not do so. “Monitor Health Services Research” stands for open discourse and transparency, which also means that everyone should have equal access to knowledge. Help us keep it that way.
Answer questions
We know from many conversations that many of our readers have simply not thought about the fact that what constitutes “Monitor Health Services Research” is good content that first has to be developed. Those who have long recognized this are ours Editorial Advisory Boards (which we would also like to include you in) and ours Subscribers. Some people can't or don't want to do that. That's why with "We need you" we want to give them the opportunity to do it anyway, once, monthly or even annually - for whatever amount.
Try reading or downloading scientific or editorial articles from other media beyond a short abstract - for many, indeed most, this doesn't work because this is part of the financing spectrum of many media companies. Each institution can decide for itself, including charging submission fees for scientific contributions. “Monitor Health Services Research” doesn’t do any of this because the editors and editorial team believe in what science is all about: the freest possible access to data (we’re still working on that) and knowledge.
From 2008, when Prof. Dr. Reinhold Roski, the editor, and Peter Stegmaier, the editor-in-chief, together with a small alliance of the willing who gratefully made an initial investment, founded “Monitor Healthcare Research”, the financing was primarily intended to be financed by advertising revenue. It quickly became clear that the emerging healthcare research, which we have supported almost from the start in Germany, is not a classic advertising market. Since 2014, there has been an editorial advisory board that supports “Monitor Health Services Research” with their respective investments. And that without having any influence on the editorial team.
Thanks for that. Since the Ukraine war, the costs of paper (including electricity) in particular have risen to astronomical heights. That's why we need YOU now.
