Overview

Quality of Life Research is an international, multidisciplinary journal of original research, theoretical articles, and methodological reports related to the field of health related quality of life (HRQL), in all the health sciences. The journal’s focus is on the HRQL aspects of treatment, care, and rehabilitation (e.g., illness/health related, health care, at-risk of disease, population health), reflecting the wide application of HRQL assessment and research in the biological and social sciences. The journal also offers editorials, correspondence, registered reports, and conference abstracts.
Quality of life has become a prominent issue in philosophy, social science, clinical medicine, health services and outcomes research. The journal's scope reflects the application of subjectively reported health related quality of life assessment as relates to conditions and treatment. All original work is subject to peer review for originality, scientific quality, and relevance to a broad readership.”
