Infection, Epidemiology and Microbiology

Aims & Scope

Infection Epidemiology and Microbiology is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research on infectious diseases. The journal focuses on the intersection of laboratory science, epidemiology, and public health. We welcome original research and reviews on: Etiology & Pathogenesis: The identification and mechanistic study of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic pathogens. Disease Epidemiology: Outbreak investigations, molecular surveillance, transmission dynamics, and population-based studies. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): Tracking resistance trends, elucidating mechanisms, and promoting stewardship. Diagnostic & Clinical Microbiology: Development and validation of novel diagnostic methods and studies on healthcare-associated infections. Prevention & Control: Research informing infection control practices, vaccine impact, and public health policy. The journal provides a vital platform for microbiologists, epidemiologists, infectious disease specialists, and public health professionals to share findings that advance the prevention, diagnosis, and management of infectious diseases.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
