Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will cover new applications of Single-Case Designs (including N-of-1 trials and Single-Case Experimental Designs) in any health discipline, with a focus on novel clinical contexts, methodologies, interventions, mobile health/digital apps, and data analysis methods. Consumer perspectives (such as patient experience or patients as collaborators) are also invited.

Acceptable submissions include original research articles, systematic reviews, literature reviews, opinion pieces, protocols, and short reports.
