Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health
Published in association with the Asia-Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health APJPH is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on health issues in the Asia-Pacific Region. APJPH publishes original articles on public health related issues, including implications for practical applications to professional education and services for public health and primary health care that are of concern and relevance to the Asia-Pacific region.
The journal welcomes manuscripts on all aspects of public health, as well as global challenges in public health, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, health security, disaster management, and chronic disease.
Publishing frequency: 8 issues a year
Epidemiology and Infection
Publishes original reports and reviews on all aspects of infection in humans and animals. Particular emphasis is given to the epidemiology, prevention and control of infectious diseases. The field covered is broad and includes the zoonoses, tropical infections, food hygiene, vaccine studies, statistics and the clinical, social and public-health aspects of infectious disease. Papers covering microbiology and immunology which have an epidemiological relevance are part of this broad field.
Papers come from medical and veterinary scientists worldwide. It has become the key periodical in which to find the latest reports on recently discovered infections and new technology. For those concerned with policy and planning for the control of infections, the papers on mathematical modelling of epidemics caused by historical, current and emergent infections, will be of particular value.
Publishing frequency: 16 times a year
Emerging Infectious Diseases
An open-access journal published monthly by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to promote the global recognition of new and reemerging infectious diseases, and to improve the understanding of factors involved in disease emergence, prevention, and elimination.
The journal relies on a broad international authorship base, and follows recommendations by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. It is published online, and also has a limited press run. The scope includes factors known to influence disease emergence; and the journal reports laboratory and epidemiologic findings. It also provides swift updates of infectious disease trends and research, and developments in antimicrobial drugs, vaccines, and prevention or elimination programs.

American Journal of Infectious Diseases
Publishes articles for diseases resulting from the presence of pathogenic microbial agents, including pathogenic viruses, pathogenic bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multicellular parasites, and aberrant proteins known as prions. AJID is a quarterly and peer reviewed journal available online for unlimited data download.
American Journal of Infectious Diseases is a gold open access publication which means that all published manuscripts are feely available for unlimited access. The publication costs of an article are paid from an author's research budget, or by their supporting institution.

Established in 1921 by the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. It is among the top-ranked tropical medicine journals in the world publishing original scientific articles and the latest science covering new research with an emphasis on population, clinical and laboratory science and the application of technology in the fields of tropical medicine, parasitology, immunology, infectious diseases, epidemiology, basic and molecular biology, virology and international medicine.
The Journal publishes unsolicited peer-reviewed manuscripts, review articles, short reports, images in Clinical Tropical Medicine, case studies, reports on the efficacy of new drugs and methods of treatment, prevention and control methodologies,new testing methods and equipment, book reports and Letters to the Editor. Topics range from applied epidemiology in such relevant areas as AIDS to the molecular biology of vaccine development.
The Journal is of interest to epidemiologists, parasitologists, virologists, clinicians, entomologists and public health officials who are concerned with health issues of the tropics, developing nations and emerging infectious diseases. Major granting institutions including philanthropic and governmental institutions active in the public health field, and medical and scientific libraries throughout the world purchase the Journal.
Two or more supplements to the Journal on topics of special interest are published annually. These supplements represent comprehensive and multidisciplinary discussions of issues of concern to tropical disease specialists and health issues of developing countries.
Manuscripts may be made freely available online immediately upon publication for a flat fee.

BMC Infectious Diseases
An open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis and management of infectious and sexually transmitted diseases in humans, as well as related molecular genetics, pathophysiology, and epidemiology.
BMC Infectious Diseases is part of the BMC series which publishes subject-specific journals focused on the needs of individual research communities across all areas of biology and medicine. We do not make editorial decisions on the basis of the interest of a study or its likely impact. Studies must be scientifically valid; for research articles this includes a scientifically sound research question, the use of suitable methods and analysis, and following community-agreed standards relevant to the research field. Specific criteria for other article types can be found in the submission guidelines.
