EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF EPIDEMIOLOGY
Scope & Guideline
Transforming data into actionable public health strategies.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Epidemiological Cohort Studies:
The journal publishes extensive research on cohort studies, particularly those that analyze long-term health outcomes, risk factors, and the impact of various exposures on disease incidence and mortality. - Public Health and Policy Implications:
Research that provides insights into public health practices, policies, and interventions is a core focus, emphasizing studies that can inform health systems and improve population health outcomes. - Methodological Innovations:
The journal highlights advancements in epidemiological research methodologies, including novel statistical approaches, causal inference techniques, and the application of Mendelian randomization. - Chronic Disease Epidemiology:
A significant portion of the published studies addresses chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders, exploring their epidemiology and associated risk factors. - Environmental and Lifestyle Factors:
Research examining the influence of environmental exposures, lifestyle choices, and dietary patterns on health outcomes is a consistent theme, reflecting the journal's commitment to understanding modifiable risk factors.
Trending and Emerging
- Longitudinal and Life-Course Studies:
There is a growing emphasis on longitudinal and life-course epidemiology, which examines how exposures and health outcomes develop over time, shedding light on the complexities of disease progression. - Mendelian Randomization and Genetic Epidemiology:
The application of Mendelian randomization and genetic epidemiology is increasingly prevalent, allowing researchers to infer causal relationships between exposures and outcomes using genetic variants. - Mental Health Epidemiology:
Research focusing on mental health, particularly the impact of socio-economic factors and lifestyle on mental health outcomes, is becoming more prominent, reflecting a broader recognition of mental health as a critical public health issue. - Impact of Climate Change on Health:
Emerging studies are beginning to explore the health impacts of climate change and environmental factors, indicating a shift towards understanding how global environmental changes affect population health. - Health Disparities and Social Determinants of Health:
There is an increasing focus on health disparities and the social determinants of health, aiming to understand how socio-economic status, education, and environment influence health outcomes across different populations.
Declining or Waning
- Infectious Disease Epidemiology:
Research specifically focused on infectious diseases, while still present, has decreased in frequency, possibly due to the shift towards chronic disease and non-communicable disease research in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. - Classic Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs):
The journal's emphasis on traditional RCTs has diminished as newer observational and cohort study designs gain popularity, particularly in the context of complex health interventions. - Historical Epidemiological Studies:
There appears to be a declining interest in studies that primarily focus on historical epidemiological analyses, as contemporary research increasingly prioritizes real-time data and current health issues. - Pharmacological Interventions:
Studies specifically evaluating the effects of pharmacological interventions on health outcomes have become less frequent, potentially overshadowed by a focus on lifestyle factors and preventive health. - Single-Condition Studies:
There is a noticeable decrease in research that exclusively focuses on single diseases or conditions, with a growing trend towards multi-condition or syndromic approaches in epidemiological research.
