Working Paper Series (EQ WPS)

In line with the EuroQol Group’s vision “to improve decisions about health and health care throughout the world by developing, promoting, and supporting the use of instruments with the widest possible applicability for the measurement and valuation of health,” the EQ Working Paper Series provides a forum for the dissemination of in-depth analyses and research on the EQ-5D. EQ WPS is a peer-reviewed online series that features innovative research topics, such as advances in health measurement and valuation. Occasionally the EQ WPS will organize special series or topical sections to emphasize new research directions.

Any member of the EuroQol Group can submit a manuscript for EQ WPS peer review using the submission form on the internal website.

To submit, go to Manuscript Submission Page

Please see our Guide for Authors for information on manuscript submission and specification.

After submission, the expected turnaround time to first decision is about 90 days. To avoid delays, a manuscript may be returned to the author before full review if the co-editors determine that it is not suitable for EQ WPS in its current form. This decision is made in the interest of the author to avoid loss of valuable time. In most cases, manuscript reviewers will be selected from the EQ members. Accepted manuscripts will be published online without delay. Full-text articles will be available as free-to-download PDFs on the EQ public website.
