History

The International Journal of Epidemiology was established in 1972 by the International Epidemiological Association (IEA) in a bid to facilitate international communication among its members and all those engaged in research, teaching and the application of epidemiology. The Journal’s first editor, Walter W. Holland, hoped to ‘overcome some of the problems of publication of epidemiological work in local journals, which often tend to be unavailable to workers outside that country’ and to ‘create an international viewpoint of health problems.’[1]

The International Journal of Epidemiology has since grown to become a leading epidemiology journal along with Environmental Health Perspectives, Epidemiologic Reviews, Epidemiology, and the American Journal of Epidemiology. In 2013 the International Journal of Epidemiology became the number one public, environmental and occupational health journal, according to the Thomson Reuters impact factor ranking.[2]
