Eurosurveillance
Eurosurveillance is a free online medical journal that focuses on how infectious diseases spread, are monitored, prevented, and controlled in Europe. It is published weekly by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and is a non-profit journal with no article processing charges or commercial ads. The journal is funded by the European Commission and public health bodies in France and the United Kingdom.
The journal began as a pilot issue in 1995. In 2005, collaboration started with the institutions that would become the ECDC, and by 2007 the journal was fully transferred to the ECDC, which has published it since. Karl Ekdahl served as editor-in-chief starting in 2008, and Ines Steffens has been editor-in-chief since 2011.
Eurosurveillance is indexed in major databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, and EBSCO. In 2021, it had an impact factor of 21.286. Since 2011, the journal has held annual scientific seminars at the European Scientific Conference on Applied Infectious Disease Epidemiology to discuss new public health research.
