About International Journal of Infection Prevention
Advancing global understanding of infection prevention through rigorous epidemiological research, surveillance methods, and evidence-based public health strategies.
Population Health Focus
Research examining infection patterns, risk factors, and prevention strategies across communities and populations.
Open Access Excellence
Free, immediate access to all content ensures equitable knowledge dissemination to researchers and public health practitioners globally.
Evidence-Based Policy
Translating epidemiological evidence into practical guidance for health systems, surveillance programs, and policy development.
IJIP publishes multidisciplinary research addressing infection prevention from a population health perspective. Our scope encompasses epidemiological investigations, surveillance system evaluations, statistical modeling, health policy analysis, and health systems research that advances understanding of infection transmission, prevention effectiveness, and control strategies at scale.
Population-based surveillance systems, outbreak investigation methods, disease incidence and prevalence studies, and spatial epidemiology of healthcare-associated infections.
Mathematical models of infection transmission, predictive analytics, risk stratification algorithms, and computational approaches to epidemic preparedness.
Population-level patterns of resistance emergence, surveillance methods for tracking resistance trends, and policy frameworks for stewardship programs.
Population-based immunization strategies, vaccine impact assessments, coverage surveillance, and policy evaluations of vaccination programs.
Health systems capacity for emerging infectious disease detection, response frameworks, resource allocation models, and policy analysis for outbreak management.
Population behavior patterns related to infection prevention, health literacy assessments, and evaluation of community-level educational interventions.
Workforce surveillance for occupational infections, risk factor identification among healthcare workers, and evaluation of workplace safety policies.
Policy analysis of infection control guidelines, health systems strengthening for prevention programs, and economic evaluations of population-level interventions.
Infection ecology, environmental contamination surveillance, and integrated approaches to human-animal-environment health interfaces.
IJIP operates with a commitment to efficient, transparent peer review that upholds the highest standards of scientific integrity. Our editorial process ensures that published research meets criteria for methodological soundness, analytical rigor, and relevance to population health practice.
- Single-Blind Peer Review: Expert reviewers evaluate manuscripts for epidemiological rigor, statistical validity, and policy relevance with constructive feedback to authors.
- Rapid Editorial Decisions: Streamlined workflows deliver initial decisions within 2-3 weeks, enabling timely dissemination of critical public health findings.
- Ethical Oversight: Manuscripts undergo screening for ethical compliance including institutional review board approval, informed consent documentation, and data protection standards.
- Transparent Reporting: Authors must provide detailed methods, analysis plans, and data availability statements to support reproducibility and secondary analysis.
- Open Access Dissemination: All articles published under Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 license ensuring unrestricted access for research, education, and policy applications.
IJIP is guided by a distinguished editorial board comprising leading epidemiologists, infectious disease specialists, public health researchers, and surveillance experts from major academic and public health institutions worldwide. Our editorial team ensures rigorous peer review and strategic vision aligned with global public health priorities.
IJIP maintains transparent article processing charges that support professional editing, formatting, and open access dissemination. Our fee structure is designed to balance sustainability with accessibility, with waivers and discounts available for researchers from low- and middle-income countries.
