Global Epidemiology

Scope

Global Epidemiology is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed epidemiology journal. Global Epidemiology is global in the broadest sense: we invite articles, and seek to stimulate open debate, across diverse areas of interest, application and geography. Our mission is to provide a publishing forum for high-quality epidemiologic research and methodological development. We invite the following types of articles, including, but not necessarily limited to: • Original research reports (including reports of null results). • Review articles. • Reports of methodological developments and innovations. We give high-est priority to those that focus on the concepts, ideas and philosophical foundations of epidemiologic methods. • Teaching articles: up-to-date discussions of epidemiologic methods and practices, that achieve excellence in explanation, and that are suitable for use in the classroom or for continuing education. • Validation studies to inform quantitative bias (uncertainty, sensitivity) analyses. • Commentaries (invited only). • Editorials (invited only). • Letters to the editor. • International Perspectives: Commentaries on public health issues around the world, especially in developing countries. • Study Protocols: In-depth descriptions of methods to be used in soon-to-be-launched epidemiological studies.
