Eurosurveillance is a European peer-reviewed scientific journal devoted to the epidemiology, surveillance, prevention and control of communicable diseases, with a focus on such topics that are of relevance to Europe. It is a weekly online journal, published every Thursday, and features short rapid communications, longer in-depth research articles, surveillance and outbreak reports, reviews and perspective papers, as well as short news items. Timely publication of short authoritative papers on ongoing outbreaks or other relevant public health events is one of the major assets of the journal. Under special circumstances when current events need to be urgently communicated to readers for rapid public health action, e-alerts can be released outside of the regular publishing schedule. Topical compilations of selected articles and special issues are also published in print.
The entire content is open access, free of charge for both readers and authors. All articles are indexed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE and EBSCO databases. The journal has been selected for coverage by Thomson Reuters and is indexed and abstracted in the Science Citation Index Expanded (also known as SciSearch) and in the Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition beginning with Volume 14(1) 2009. The journal’s first impact factor, for the year 2011, is 6.15 (2011 Journal Citation Reports, Thomson Reuters 2012). This places Eurosurveillance at rank 6 among the 70 journals in the category Infectious Diseases. The Scopus-based SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) for 2011 ranks Eurosurveillance at 61 of 1,597 journals in the field of medicine.
Approximately 11,700 active subscribers receive the weekly table of contents via email. In 2011, 95 peer-reviewed rapid communications and 94 peer-reviewed long articles were published in Eurosurveillance, by authors from ca. 40 countries worldwide, as well as a number of editorials, news pieces, letters and meeting reports. All articles since 1995 are available on the Eurosurveillance website.
