Epidemiology Article Types We Publish
Original Research Articles
Original studies presenting new findings in population health, epidemiology, or public health interventions. Must include clear research questions, robust methodology, and significant implications for public health practice or policy.
Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses
Comprehensive evidence syntheses following PRISMA guidelines. Must include systematic search strategies, quality assessment of included studies, and quantitative pooling of effect estimates where appropriate.
Methods Papers
Innovative methodological approaches in epidemiology, biostatistics, or public health research. Must include validation, comparison with existing methods, and practical implementation guidance.
Short Communications
Concise reports of preliminary findings, pilot studies, or focused analyses that merit rapid dissemination. Includes structured abstract and limited number of figures/tables.
Data Notes
Descriptions of valuable datasets collected for public health research, including data collection methods, variable definitions, access protocols, and potential research applications.
Policy Perspectives & Health Policy Analyses
Analysis of current public health policies, emerging policy issues, or evaluation of policy impacts using quantitative or qualitative evidence. Must include clear policy recommendations.
Disease Surveillance & Outbreak Reports
Rapid reports of disease outbreaks, surveillance findings, or novel monitoring systems. Includes epidemiological curves, case definitions, and public health response measures.
Statistical Modeling Studies
Advanced statistical methods for epidemiological data including survival analysis, multilevel modeling, causal inference approaches, and disease transmission models. Must include code availability and reproducibility details.
Population-Based Cohort Studies
Longitudinal studies examining disease incidence, risk factors, and health outcomes in defined populations. Include detailed methodology for cohort selection, follow-up procedures, and statistical analysis of time-to-event data.
Cross-Sectional Surveys
Population health surveys examining disease prevalence, health behaviors, or risk factor distributions. Must include detailed sampling methodology, weighting procedures, and appropriate statistical analyses accounting for survey design.
Case Reports
Detailed descriptions of novel, rare, or instructive cases with implications for public health practice, disease recognition, or clinical management in population settings.
