About us
Eurosurveillance is a leading independent European scientific journal devoted to the epidemiology, surveillance, prevention and control of communicable diseases. The journal was founded in 1995 and until March 2007 co-funded by the European Commission, the Institut de Veille Sanitaire in Paris (InVS), France and the Health Protection Agency (HPA) in London, United Kingdom. Of the two editorial offices, the French team at InVS published in-depth articles online every month, while the team at the HPA published short articles, often preliminary reports of outbreak investigations, online every week. Most articles were also published in a quarterly paper print compilation.

As of March 2007, Eurosurveillance has been published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in Stockholm, Sweden, home of the current editorial team. From January 2008 the journal became a weekly online publication, with both rapid communications and news and longer in-depth research articles and surveillance and outbreak reports. As before, most articles are also published in a quarterly paper print compilation. In addition, e-alerts are sometimes released on events that need to be urgently communicated to the readers for rapid public health action.

In 2007, 174 short, fast-track articles and news items were published in the weekly edition and 80 long articles in the monthly edition. All articles are put through a rigorous peer-review process, and are indexed by PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus databasis.

Eurosurveillance is an open-access journal, free of charge both for readers and authors. The journal currently has more than 13,000 electronic subscribers, and the paper edition is printed in 6,000 copies. All articles from the beginning of the journal - are available on the Eurosurveillance website.
