Journals

To help develop improvement knowledge and skills, we provide members with free access to BMJ Quality and Safety and the opportunity to publish your work in open access health and care journals.

Do you want to publish your quality improvement work?

As a Q member, we can support you to share your work with the improvement community and beyond. We offer to cover the cost of publishing your work in high quality, open access health care journals, such as BMJ Open Quality.

Why submit your work to be published in BMJ Open Quality?:

  • It’s a fantastic opportunity to share your work with others.
  • The journal is PubMed indexed.
  • Articles are peer reviewed.

Articles covering original research, local, national and international QI projects, value-based health care improvement initiatives and educational improvement work are all considered.

We can also support you to submit your work to other health and care journals. For your content to be eligible for this funding, it must be relevant to:

  • work Q has funded, such as Q Exchange or Supporting Q Connections projects
  • work connected to other work Q is leading, such as Q Visits or QMS webinars
  • our collaborative improvement priorities.

To access this offer please log in.

This section of the page is for Q members only. If you are already a member please log in, and if not, find out more about joining Q.

In order to submit a report for publication, you will need to enter the institution verification code 0571246253 and select the Health Foundation from the drop down during the submission process. This is required to prove that you are a Q member and are therefore exempt from article processing charges.
