Co-developing Program Theories for Best Fit Social Innovations in Long-Term Care: Lessons From a Cross European Implementation Project

The Journal of Long-Term Care is an international, multi- and inter-disciplinary, peer-reviewed, online journal established as a focus for advancing the research evidence base for all aspects of long-term care for adults. Its range includes empirical papers and theoretical discussions relevant to policy and practice, methodological papers about improving methods in social care research, and perspectives papers commenting on significant issues for the sector. The editorial board welcomes submissions of high quality, original articles that fit with the Journal’s remit. We will consider articles that are also relevant to the care of children and younger people where there is clear relevance for adult care (e.g. concerning issues of families or transitions into adult care).There is no fee for submitting or publishing articles. All articles are published online as open access on the journal’s website to encourage maximum impact for all work.
