Epidemiologic Reviews is an annualpeer-reviewedscientific journal coveringepidemiology and published byOxford University Press on behalf of theJohns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. TheJournal was established in 1979 byNeal Nathanson andPhilip E. Sartwell. The longest runningeditor-in-chief was Haroutune Armenian. The current editor-in-chief isDavid Celentano of theJohns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
TheJournal was established by Neal Nathanson, with Philip Sartwell and the help of the editorial staff at theAmerican Journal of Epidemiology.[1]
During the initial period, primarily headed by Nathanson, theJournal established its credibility by soliciting pieces from well-respected epidemiologists and researchers that had also or were in the process of contributing to theAmerican Journal of Epidemiology.[1] The topics broke down equally under "three general topics: infectious diseases, other conditions, and general topics related to both," according to Sartwell in his introduction of theJournal in its first volume.[1]
In 1985,Moyses Szklo took over as editor-in-chief.[2] After Szklo, theJournal was led by Haroutune K. Armenian, the longest serving editor-in-chief to date.[2] Armenian regularly obtained advice from Leon Gordis and Jon Samet.[2] In 1999, theJournal separated from being a single 200+ page annual issue into two 100-page biannual issues, with the first one focusing on themes popular to public health and the second one focused on methodology. The following year, theJournal switched publishers from theJohns Hopkins University Press to theOxford University Press. In 2003, theJournal reverted to publishing once per year.
Though Armenian began working with Michel A. Ibrahim as co-editor-in-chief starting in 2003, Ibrahim's leadership did not fully commence until 2005 after Armenian had officially retired from his position.[2] In 2018, Dr. Ibrahim brought aboardDavid Celentano as the co-editor, and in 2019, Dr. Celentano became the editor-in-chief.
