The journal mostly deals with topics like Demography, Outbreak, Disease, Epidemiology and Immunology. In addition to Demography research, it aims to explore topics under Men who have sex with men, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), Incidence (epidemiology), Transmission (medicine) and Pandemic. The research on Outbreak featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Infectious disease (medical specialty), Environmental health, Statistics, Basic reproduction number and Vaccination.
Studies on Infectious disease (medical specialty) discussed in Epidemics link to the field of Data science. Some problems in Environmental health that were presented in Epidemics overlapped with concepts under Veterinary medicine and Public health. Research in the field of Virology was used to conduct the presented Vaccination study.
The works on Immunology deal in particular with Immunity.
The most cited articles generally zeroe in on subjects such as Demography, Outbreak, Infectious disease (medical specialty), Disease and Data science. The studies on Demography discussed at the most cited articles can also contribute to research in the domains of Global health, Incidence (epidemiology), Epidemiology and Young adult. The most cited publications explore topics in Outbreak which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Vector (epidemiology), Basic reproduction number and Operations research.
The journal is organized to address concerns in the fields of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), Demography, Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), Pandemic and 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak. The Demography works featured in it incorporate elements from Infertility, Incidence (epidemiology), Public health and Basic reproduction number. Topics in Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) explored in Epidemics were investigated in conjunction with research in Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Outbreak and Statistical power.
Outbreak research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Agriculture, Disease, Horizontal Disease Transmission and Vaccination. Pandemic research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Intensive care, Mathematical modelling of infectious disease, Epidemiology and Econometrics. In Epidemics, Infectious disease (medical specialty) and Statistics are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in 2019-20 coronavirus outbreak research.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Epidemics (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Epidemics (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 1.79% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 32.73% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.73% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.18% of all publications and 36.36% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
