The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Medical Care Research and Review has been a pioneering force in the area of health services research. During its time, the journal has evolved from publishing abstracts to a well-respected journal carrying critical reviews of literature on organizational structure, economics, and the financing of health and medical care systems. Today, the journal's focus has expanded to reflect the growth of the field and the increasing importance of health services research -- while still maintaining the high standards that have kept Medical Care Research and Review at the forefront of health care research for over half a century.

Covering Current Issues in Health Care

Medical Care Research and Review covers timely aspects of health care such as:

  • Evaluation of the impact of changes in health policy and practice
  • Health insurance markets and the impact of health reform
  • Health Information Technology adoption and application in health delivery
  • Impact of competition and regulation on health care markets and providers
  • Health care disparities in access, treatment, and outcomes
  • Patient safety and quality of care
  • Health care workforce issues and primary care capacity
  • Patient engagement in health care decision-making
  • Economics and financial issues in health care delivery
  • Organizational structure and behavior of health organizations

The journal occasionally complements its broad coverage with supplements on particular topics. For example, an October 2014 supplement focused on informing the next generation of public reporting for consumers. "Medical Care Research and Review aims to publish the best health services research in the field, especially papers that will inform research and decision-making on ways to improve health care services, including access to services as well as their cost, quality, access, and organization. - Thomas D'Aunno, Ph.D., former Editor-in-Chief, Medical Care Research and Review

Medical Care Research and Review

Medical Care Research and Review

Medical Care Research and Review has been a pioneering force in the area of health services research. During its time, the journal has evolved from publishing abstracts to a well-respected journal carrying critical reviews of literature on organizational structure, economics, and the financing of health and medical care systems. Today, the journal's focus has expanded to reflect the growth of the field and the increasing importance of health services research -- while still maintaining the high standards that have kept Medical Care Research and Review at the forefront of health care research for over half a century.

Medical Care Research and Review covers timely aspects of health care such as:

  • Evaluation of the impact of changes in health policy and practice
  • Health insurance markets and the impact of health reform
  • Health Information Technology adoption and application in health delivery
  • Impact of competition and regulation on health care markets and providers
  • Health care disparities in access, treatment, and outcomes
  • Patient safety and quality of care

  • Patient engagement in health care decision-making
  • Economics and financial issues in health care delivery
  • Organizational structure and behavior of health organizations

The journal occasionally complements its broad coverage with supplements on particular topics.

"Medical Care Research and Review aims to publish the best health services research in the field, especially papers that will inform research and decision-making on ways to improve health care services, including access to services as well as their cost, quality, access, and organization. - Thomas D'Aunno, Ph.D., former Editor-in-Chief, Medical Care Research and Review
