Open access

It is our great pleasure to present the journal Developments in Health Sciences, a new open access, peer-reviewed journal founded by the Faculty of Health Sciences, Semmelweis University and published by Akadémiai Kiadó (Budapest).

Health science journals are an important element of health research. They provide a forum for research findings and evidence to improve health care and public health. Therefore, it is a great challenge to bring a new journal into the field of health sciences, especially when the journal aims to publish high-quality papers.

This endeavor is supported by Semmelweis University, which is Hungary’s oldest and largest higher education institution that trains physicians and health care professionals. The Faculty of Health Sciences, the university’s second largest faculty, was founded in 1975 as the College of Health Care and was integrated into the already prestigious and internationally renowned Semmelweis University in 2000. The university has been simultaneously fulfilling the threefold task of research, education, and patient care by training highly accomplished, skilled, committed, and open-minded health care professionals. The Faculty of Health Sciences also participates in research projects in cooperation with other Hungarian and international health care institutions.

Developments in Health Sciences will be published in yearly volumes on a quarterly basis. The journal highlights multidisciplinary contents, which include original research papers, review articles, short communications, rapid preliminary notes, and case studies, as well as book reviews, calendar of events, conference reports, and product news.

The overall goal of health science is the improvement of human health through scientific research. There are many subdisciplines of health science; therefore, we would like to publish papers on all possible aspects of health sciences and related fields in medical sciences and health care (nutrition, nursing, physiotherapy, obstetrics, public health, and optometry, etc.).

The journal Developments in Health Sciences aims at serving as an authoritative forum for all aspects of health sciences at international and interdisciplinary levels. We will endeavor to ensure that the high standards of scientific excellence are maintained in our published papers in health sciences.

We are very much looking forward to the challenge of launching this new journal and introducing it to the scientific community.

At the end of this preface, we would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge all the future authors and readers of the journal, the Developments in Health Sciences, for extending their kind support and cooperation, which truly could help the journal grow and become successful in the field of health sciences.
