Epidemics: Volume 34 to Volume 37
Epidemics is a specialized journal that focuses on the dynamics of infectious diseases, encompassing various aspects from the molecular level to population-level effects. Here are some key features and areas of emphasis for Epidemics:
Infectious Disease Dynamics: The journal places a strong emphasis on understanding the dynamics of infectious diseases. This includes studying how infectious agents spread, transmit, persist, and interact within host organisms and at the population level.
Within-Host and Population-Level Dynamics: Epidemics explores infectious disease dynamics at both the within-host (individual) level and the population level. It seeks to understand the interactions between these two levels, recognizing that infectious diseases have consequences at both scales.
Implications for Public Health: The journal delves into the implications of infectious disease dynamics for public health. This includes discussions of control and prevention strategies, policy implications, and population-level interventions to manage infectious diseases.
Interdisciplinary Approach: Successful manuscripts in Epidemics are typically multidisciplinary and integrative. They may draw on fields such as epidemiology, microbiology, ecology, evolution, genetics, and mathematical modeling to provide a comprehensive understanding of infectious disease dynamics.
Data-Driven Research: Epidemics emphasizes the use of high-quality novel or published data in research papers. It encourages authors to base their analyses on robust data sources, ensuring the reliability and validity of their findings.
Methodological Innovation: While the journal primarily focuses on biological applications, it also considers methodological manuscripts if they provide novel insights and applications in the context of infectious disease dynamics.
Interaction with the Environment: Researchers in Epidemics explore how infectious diseases interact with the environment, including ecological factors that influence disease transmission and evolution.
Population Genetics: The journal covers population genetics of infectious agents, shedding light on the genetic diversity and evolution of pathogens.
In summary, Epidemics serves as a platform for researchers to share insights and knowledge related to infectious disease dynamics. It welcomes a multidisciplinary approach, encourages the use of high-quality data, and aims to contribute to our understanding of how infectious diseases spread, persist, and impact public health.
