Open Forum Infectious Diseases
Scope & Guideline
Innovating solutions for evolving health challenges.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Epidemiology and Surveillance:
The journal frequently publishes research on the epidemiological trends of infectious diseases, including outbreaks, prevalence studies, and surveillance methodologies. This focus helps in understanding disease patterns and informing public health interventions. - Antimicrobial Resistance:
A significant portion of the research addresses issues related to antimicrobial resistance, including resistance patterns, mechanisms, and the impact on treatment outcomes. This area is crucial for developing strategies to combat resistant infections. - Clinical Management and Treatment Strategies:
The journal emphasizes clinical studies that evaluate the efficacy and safety of various treatment modalities for infectious diseases, including antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal therapies. - Vaccination and Preventive Strategies:
Research on vaccination effectiveness, vaccine hesitancy, and strategies for public health vaccination campaigns is a core focus, particularly in the context of emerging infectious diseases like COVID-19. - Public Health and Policy Implications:
The journal explores the intersection of infectious diseases with public health policies, health equity, and the socio-economic factors influencing disease spread and management. - Innovative Diagnostic Techniques:
There is a strong emphasis on the development and evaluation of new diagnostic tools and technologies for infectious diseases, including molecular diagnostics and rapid testing methods.
Trending and Emerging
- COVID-19 Research:
There is a robust increase in publications related to COVID-19, including studies on its epidemiology, treatment, vaccination, and long-term sequelae. This trend is likely driven by the ongoing relevance of the pandemic. - Mental Health and Infectious Diseases:
Emerging research is beginning to explore the intersection of mental health and infectious diseases, particularly in the context of COVID-19 and its psychological impacts. - Telemedicine and Remote Care:
The adoption of telemedicine for infectious disease management has surged, with more studies evaluating its effectiveness and patient acceptance, especially during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. - Social Determinants of Health:
Research focusing on social determinants of health, particularly how they affect the prevalence and management of infectious diseases, is gaining prominence as public health initiatives aim for more equitable health outcomes. - Long COVID and Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection:
There is a growing body of research dedicated to understanding the long-term effects of COVID-19, termed Long COVID, which is becoming a significant area of interest within the journal.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Infectious Disease Surveillance:
The focus on traditional methods of infectious disease surveillance seems to be waning, as newer, more advanced techniques such as molecular surveillance and real-time data analytics gain traction. - Single-Pathogen Studies:
Research that concentrates solely on single pathogens is becoming less common, with a noticeable trend towards multispecies studies and the exploration of polymicrobial infections. - Antibiotic Stewardship Programs:
While still relevant, the volume of publications specifically dedicated to antibiotic stewardship programs has decreased, possibly due to the establishment of these programs as standard practice in many clinical settings. - Chronic Infectious Diseases Research:
There seems to be a reduced emphasis on chronic infectious diseases, such as long-term tuberculosis management, as the journal increasingly prioritizes acute infectious diseases and emerging threats.
