  • Debating Diversity Following the Widely Publicized Deaths of Black Tape
    KENNEDY SCHOOL, UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The Harvard Kennedy School aims to build students’ capacity for better public policy, wise democratic governance, international amity, and more. Now it is addressing its own capacity issues (as described at harvardmag.com/ hks-16). In January, as seen across Eliot Street from the northeast (opposite page), work was well under way to raise the level of the interior courtyard, install utility space in a new below-grade level, and erect a four-story “south building.” The project will bridge the Eliot Street opening between the Belfer (left) and Taubman (right) buildings with a new “gateway” structure that includes faculty offices and other spaces. The images on this page (above and upper right) show views diagonally across the courtyard from Taubman toward Littauer, and vice versa. Turning west, across the courtyard toward the Charles Hotel complex (right), affords a look at the current open space between buildings; the gap is to be filled with a new, connective academic building, including classrooms.

  • Health Policy and Systems Research Publications in Latin America Warrant the Launching of a New Specialised Regional Journal
    González Block et al. Health Research Policy and Systems (2020) 18:59 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12961-020-00565-1 RESEARCH Open Access Health policy and systems research publications in Latin America warrant the launching of a new specialised regional journal Miguel Angel González Block1*, Juan Arroyo Laguna2, Oscar Cetrángolo3, Pedro Crocco Ábalos4, Ramiro Guerrero5, Daniela Riva Knauth6, Abdul Ghaffar7, Patricia Pavón León8, María del Rocío Saénz9, Rosanna González McQuire10, Beatriz Martínez Zavala10 and Emilio Gutiérrez Calderón11 Abstract Background: Scientific journals play a critical role in research validation and dissemination and are increasingly vocal about the identification of research priorities and the targeting of research results to key audiences. No new journals specialising in health policy and systems research (HPSR) and focusing in the developing world or in a specific developing world region have been established since the early 1980s. This paper compares the growth of publications on HPSR across Latin America and the world and explores the potential, feasibility and challenges of innovative publication strategies. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was undertaken using HPSR MeSH terms with journals indexed in Medline. A survey was undertaken among 2500 authors publishing on HPSR in Latin America (LA) through an online survey, with a 13.1% response rate. Aggregate indicators were constructed and validated, and two-way ANOVA tests were performed on key variables. Results: HPSR publications on LA observed an average annual growth of 27.5% from the years 2000 to 2018, as against 11.4% worldwide and yet a lag on papers published per capita. A total of 48 journals with an Impact Factor publish HPSR on LA, of which 5 non-specialised journals are published in the region and are ranked in the bottom quintile of Impact Factor.
