Are articles in the Journal peer-reviewed?
For purposes of rapid dissemination and opening a rapid forum for scientific discussion, alerts for top articles, articles of the week/month, and brief commentaries are reviewed by our editorial board. For longer reviews and external editorials, we seek at least another external review in addition to our editorial board. For the top Epidemiologic Inquiry Awards, all candidate articles are requested from editors of leading epidemiology and clinical journals, as well as experts in epidemiology relevant to the field. Finally, because the Journal is a rapid-response publication for a body of epidemiologists about the latest studies in epidemiology, we feel a purpose of the Journal is to theorectically provide the ultimate in peer-review.
