A new open access journal from Cambridge University Press, Antimicrobial Stewardship and Healthcare Epidemiology (ASHE), will contribute to improving the safety of global healthcare and to curbing the rise in antibiotic resistance.
Published in partnership with The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA), the journal will publish original research in the fields of antimicrobial stewardship, healthcare epidemiology and infection prevention.
It will be an Open Access companion journal to Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology and cover the same broad scope, but with greater geographic diversity. It will also feature articles on program implementation and provider education, making it attractive to authors involved in delivering action plans to reduce the emergence and cross-transmission of antimicrobial resistant organisms.
ASHE will begin accepting submissions from March 12, and all articles will be published under a Creative Commons license, enabling research to be freely communicated while ensuring copyright remains with the author. The journal will be freely available to anyone with an internet connection, anywhere in the world.
