Description:
In the 25 years since the Institute of Medicine issued its landmark report on Emerging Infections: Microbial Threats to Health in the United States, much has been accomplished and far-reaching recommendations have been issued. That 1992 report and its 2003 sequel galvanized support for research and public health action to address challenges posed by new, emerging, and reemerging infectious diseases. In 1995, that original report also inspired CDC to establish Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID), an open access, peer-reviewed journal, to provide a voice for public health scientists who responded to that call for action.

EID has since published thousands of scientific articles that discuss disease emergence, prevention, and elimination and has a broad international authorship base. EID’s hardworking Associate Editors and Editorial Board—who volunteer their time and expertise—ensure that EID’s independent peer review is rigorous and its content is relevant for public health professionals in infectious diseases and related sciences.

Emerging Infectious Diseases: 2017 Journal Report highlights key achievements and metrics that document how well EID connects with its core public health audiences, including the following:

• EID’s 2016 ISI (Institute for Scientific Information) impact factor of 6.99 ranked it first among open-access journals and fourth among the 82 infectious disease journals ISI tracks.

• Our online page views topped more than 4 million for 2016.

• In 2016, EID’s content available at PubMed Central, the United States National Library of Medicine’s digital repository, was accessed 2,755,320 times—up 394,000 from 2015.

• EID published 547 articles in 2016 while receiving 2,105 submissions from 110 different countries for peer review.

• EID is one of the few open access, peer-reviewed journals available both online and in print.
