• Description:
  In 2025, Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) celebrated a major milestone—its 30th anniversary, marking three decades of pub¬lishing high-impact, peer-reviewed, open-access research articles. Since 1995, EID has published more than 13,500 articles. These ar¬ticles have been cited over 600,000 times, and the journal’s con¬tents have been accessed 54 million times on PubMed Central.
  
  This year also marked an important transition in editorial leadership. Peter Drotman, MD, MPH, retired after more than 40 years of dedicated service to CDC and 24 years of leadership shaping EID. Since assuming the role of Editor in Chief in 2001, Dr. Drotman has overseen the publication of more than 300 is¬sues and guided the journal through periods of rapid scientif¬ic and public health change. His tenure spanned major public health events, including the post-9/11 anthrax attacks, SARS, MERS, and H1N1 outbreaks, as well as the global response to COVID-19. Under his leadership, EID played an important role in disseminating timely, peer-reviewed research and case reports to inform public health practice during emerging infectious disease threats.
  
  Matthew Kuehnert, MD, who previously served as Deputy Editor in Chief, assumed the role of Editor in Chief at the end of November. Dr. Kuehnert brings more than 30 years of experience in peer-reviewed publication and has authored over 150 scientific ar¬ticles, book chapters, and other publications. According to Google Scholar, which tracks scientific publication, Kuehnert’s work has been cited about 15,000 times by other authors, reflecting the importance of his studies. He began his CDC career in 1996 as an Epidemic Intelli¬gence Service officer and medical epidemiologist and has held key po¬sitions in the public and private sector, including in healthcare safety.
