STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the launch of a new scientific journal, Spatial and Spatio-temporal Epidemiology. The journal’s Editorial Board will be led by the internationally recognised scholar Professor Andrew B. Lawson, Division of Biostatistics & Epidemiology, College of Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, USA.
Spatial and Spatio-temporal Epidemiology, the first issue of which was published in September 2009, seeks to be a primary forum for academics and scholars in the fields of graphical information systems, epidemiology, exposure science and spatial statistics. The journal will publish a broad range of topics relating to geospatial health methodology. It focuses on answering epidemiological questions where spatial and spatio-temporal approaches are appropriate to help advance understanding of infectious and non-infectious diseases in humans.
The journal places special emphasis on spatio-temporal aspects of emerging diseases (e.g., avian flu, SARS), development of spatial statistical and computational methods, and novel applications of geospatial technology (e.g., GPS, GIS) for shedding insights on exposure and disease processes. Veterinary topics will also be included.
