WHO/PLoS Collection "No Health Without Research": A Call for Papers.
On 25 January 2011, World Health Organization (WHO) and PLoS Medicine announce a call for papers to inform the World Health Report 2012, which will be a groundbreaking report focusing for the first time on research for better health. Entitled "No Health Without Research," the report will be published by WHO in May 2012. In advance of this landmark publication, WHO and PLoS Medicine jointly invite submission of papers to PLoS Medicine related to strengthening national health research systems (see the Editorial [e1001008]). Research papers, case studies, and non-research papers will all be considered. A joint WHO/PLoS panel will select papers for inclusion in an ongoing special WHO/PLoS Collection leading up to the report's publication. The impetus behind the report is the need to emphasize the importance of research evidence in health care decision-making, and particularly so in the areas of health policy and health systems; the collection will showcase examples of the best research underpinning practice and policy worldwide.
