Emerging Themes in Epidemiology is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that aims to promote debate and discussion on practical and theoretical aspects of epidemiology. Combining statistical approaches with an understanding of the biology of disease, epidemiologists seek to elucidate the social, environmental and host factors related to adverse health outcomes. Although research findings from epidemiologic studies abound in traditional public health journals, little publication space is devoted to discussion of the practical and theoretical concepts that underpin them. Because of its immediate impact on public health, an openly accessible forum is needed in the field of epidemiology to foster such discussion.

Microbial Genomics (MGen) is a fully open access, mandatory open data and peer-reviewed journal publishing high-profile original research on archaea, bacteria, microbial eukaryotes and viruses.

Clinical Epidemiology is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal. Clinical Epidemiology focuses on the application of epidemiological principles and questions relating to patients and clinical care in terms of prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Clinical Epidemiology welcomes papers covering these topics in form of original research and systematic reviews. Clinical Epidemiology has a special interest in international electronic medical patient records and other routine health care data, especially as applied to safety of medical interventions, clinical utility of diagnostic procedures, understanding short- and long-term clinical course of diseases, clinical epidemiological and biostatistical methods, and systematic reviews. When considering submission of a paper utilizing publicly-available data, authors should ensure that such studies add significantly to the body of knowledge and that they use appropriate validated methods for identifying health outcomes. The journal has launched special series describing existing data sources for clinical epidemiology, international health care systems and validation studies of algorithms based on databases and registries.

The Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health aims to impact global epidemiology and international health with articles focused on innovative scholarship and strategies to advance global health policy. The journal seeks to improve regional and global health by informing efforts to reduce the risk of communicable and non-communicable diseases and takes special interest in publishing rigorous assessments of policies which have been implemented based on epidemiological and public health research. At the Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health we believe that epidemiology and public health are closely intertwined, both scientifically and from a health policy perspective: advances in one area exert positive consequences on the other. We are particularly interested in the links between evolving epidemiologic advances and the implementation of health policy initiatives, and eventually in publishing efficacy assessments, including the assessment of unintended consequences. The Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health benefits from a diverse, multidisciplinary, experienced and international Editorial Board that will facilitate the publication of articles and perspectives reflecting a global view of public health medicine and epidemiology. The journal also aims to focus on supporting the academic, clinical and practical needs of public health practitioners in the field. As global health medicine meets unprecedented problems - the H1N1 pandemic being a recent example - imaginative approaches will be needed to influence health policy, foreign policy and even immigration policy. The resulting need for multidisciplinary research is not well served by the current body of academic literature and the journal seeks to fill this important gap.
