Developing effective leaders is crucial in achieving the goals set for healthcare services world-wide. Improvements in organizations and services can only be made by building leadership and managerial capacity and skills. Leadership in Health Services provides examples of best practice in this dynamic field, disseminating practical, relevant and timely information. Combining theoretical articles and applied case studies, the journal is an essential resource for all those researching and practising in this evolving area.

The journal publishes:

Leadership in Health Services benefits from Emerald EarlyCite

EarlyCite is Emerald's online, pre-publication service that enables customers to access journal articles prior to official publication.
Papers will be made available at least three months and, in some cases, as much as one year before they appear in the hard copy and final online journal issue. A phenomenon of academic journal publishing is that articles can often be held in a queue, awaiting publication for many months until an issue becomes available.

Benefits for authors and users

Through EarlyCite, authors' research will be disseminated, read and potentially cited earlier. Similarly, users have earlier access to the up-to-date research.
EarlyCite articles are fully peer-reviewed and are made available online before they undergo the full sub-editing and page-proofing stages. Once the final copy of the article is ready for publication, it replaces the EarlyCite version. Every EarlyCite paper is assigned to an issue, which enables correct referencing.
