EPIDEMIOLOGY AND INFECTION
Scope & Guideline
Fostering Knowledge for Global Health Challenges
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Epidemiological Studies:
The journal publishes original research that investigates the distribution and determinants of infectious diseases in populations, employing various epidemiological methodologies including cohort studies, case-control studies, and cross-sectional surveys. - Infectious Disease Surveillance:
Research focusing on the surveillance of infectious diseases, including outbreak detection and monitoring of disease patterns over time, is a core area of the journal. This includes studies that utilize innovative surveillance techniques such as genomic epidemiology and environmental monitoring. - Public Health Interventions:
The journal emphasizes studies assessing the impact of public health interventions on infectious disease transmission, including vaccination programs, health education, and policy evaluations aimed at controlling outbreaks. - Microbial Resistance and Pathogen Characterization:
Research on antimicrobial resistance, pathogen characterization, and the molecular epidemiology of infectious agents are significant themes, reflecting the journal's commitment to understanding and combating resistance in clinical settings. - Global Health Perspectives:
The journal includes studies that examine infectious diseases from a global health perspective, addressing issues such as health disparities, the impact of socio-economic factors on disease transmission, and the responses to pandemics across different regions.
Trending and Emerging
- COVID-19 Research and Variants:
The journal has seen a surge in studies related to COVID-19, particularly concerning the epidemiology of new variants, vaccine effectiveness, and long-term health outcomes related to the virus. This trend underscores the pandemic's ongoing relevance in public health research. - One Health Approach:
Research integrating the One Health perspective, which recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, is emerging as a vital theme. This reflects a growing understanding of zoonotic diseases and their implications for public health. - Environmental and Climate Influences on Infectious Diseases:
There is an increasing number of studies examining how environmental factors and climate change impact the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary approaches in epidemiological research. - Digital Health and Surveillance Innovations:
The rise of digital health technologies and innovative surveillance methods, such as the use of mobile applications and big data analytics for tracking disease spread, is a notable trend in the journal's publications. - Mental Health Impacts of Infectious Diseases:
Emerging research exploring the mental health consequences of infectious disease outbreaks, particularly in the context of COVID-19, signifies a growing recognition of the psychological aspects of public health.
Declining or Waning
- Classical Infectious Disease Models:
There is a noticeable decline in the publication of studies relying on traditional infectious disease modeling approaches. As the field evolves, there is a growing preference for more sophisticated and data-driven models that incorporate real-time data and machine learning techniques. - Focus on Non-Communicable Diseases:
Research that previously intersected with infectious diseases, particularly studies examining the relationships between infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases, is becoming less frequent as the journal concentrates more on acute infectious disease outbreaks. - Historical Epidemiological Studies:
The publication of historical epidemiological studies that analyze past outbreaks or disease trends has decreased, as current research is increasingly focused on contemporary challenges, particularly those arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. - Localized Infection Studies:
Studies focusing exclusively on localized infections without broader implications or connections to global epidemiological trends are less common, with a shift towards research that highlights global health perspectives and interconnectedness. - Traditional Vaccination Efficacy Studies:
There is a waning interest in basic studies solely assessing the efficacy of vaccines, as the journal now favors research that explores complex interactions between vaccination, population dynamics, and emerging variants.
