Summary:

Oxford Open Digital Health is an Open Access journal that publishes methodologically rigorous evaluations, evidence reviews, study protocols and other policy-relevant research on Digital Health Interventions (DHIs) with a particular focus on Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). The journal aims to provide a high-impact outlet for research that adds to the evidence-base of DHIs used to strengthen health systems, and accelerate progress towards universal health coverage. The journal encourages the submission of high-quality evaluations of DHIs involving a range of research approaches such as randomized controlled studies and implementation science research. In each case, to further replicability of the digital health interventions being deployed, we encourage a clear description of the design and technical features of the interventions, and where possible, direct inclusion of or reference to evidence on acceptability, gender, equity, ethical, legal and sociocultural implications. We actively seek to identify and purposefully target gaps in the literature, such as the current dearth of rigorous costing and economic evaluations of digital health interventions. We support interdisciplinary research spanning the disciplines of engineering, computer science, public health and medicine, across all health areas. Negative or null results are also encouraged to be submitted. The journal aims to support the World Health Organization's (WHO) efforts to develop future Digital Health Guidelines, by encouraging the use of the WHO Classification of Digital Health Interventions and the mHealth Evidence Reporting and Assessment (mERA) guidelines. We also encourage authors to ensure their projects are registered with the WHO Digital Health Atlas. With a view towards strengthening equity and inclusion in publication - we pledge to approach the amplification of local voices with intentionality, especially those that have been traditionally marginalized in peer-reviewed authorship due to language or economic barriers. Example areas of focus include, but are not exclusive to: National-scale program evaluations of DHIs in LMICs Impact assessments of DHIs at subnational scale Usability, Feasibility and Acceptability Studies of novel DHIs Evaluations of Applied Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Interventions to Improve Service Delivery and Health Promotion Innovations in Monitoring and Evaluation methodology for DH Implementation Challenges and Change Management of DHIs Economic evaluations / Scale-up Forecasting of DH Programs
