  Research Involvement and Engagement has now opened for submissions

  An innovative, health and social care journal that focuses on the patient.

  Led by two Editors-in-Chief: Sophie Staniszewska, PPI lead at RCN Research Institute, University of Warwick, UK, and Richard Stephens, a patient advocate in research, who has overcome a number of health challenges. This collaboration between a patient and an academic signals "our intention to work towards the co-production of knowledge that informs health care practice."

  The journal will have a novel structure, co-produced by all key stakeholders, including patients, academics, policy makers and service users. All articles within the journal will be reviewed by both academics and patients, with both reports carrying equal weight in the editorial decision.

  "We want to walk the walk as well as talk the talk, and we look forward to you joining us as fellow travellers on our journey, and as fellow contributors in this new journal.”
