Objective
Epidemiologic Methods aims at filling the gap for a journal to publish innovative methodology for epidemiologic research. Most social and applied science fields have one or more journals devoted exclusively to methodology. Epidemiologic Methods provides such a journal for the field of epidemiology.
In 2020-2022 we have invited less methodology-oriented epidemiology papers to support in part dissemination of knowledge on the COVID pandemic.
From January 1st, 2023 onwards, we are re-centering the journal on methodological publications. We seek contributions on innovative methodology for epidemiologic research, real-world evidence, and evidence generation in a broader sense, and welcome submissions that provide a comprehensive evaluation or comparison of state-of-the-art methods in the context of epidemiologic research (via simulation studies or analyses of real data sets). We invite papers that may be more technical or of greater length than what has traditionally been allowed by journals in epidemiology. Applications and examples with real data to illustrate the methodology are strongly encouraged.

ARTICLE FORMATS
1. Original Research Article, including
2. Tutorial
This is a new category aimed at providing epidemiologists with the means to understand and implement an advanced epidemiologic method for study design and/or data analysis.We welcome tutorial articles that introduce cutting-edge epidemiologic methods with a focus on the following aspects:
3. Perspective and Counterpoint Perspective Articles
Articles that do not fall into the Original Research Article or Tutorial may be considered for this category. This category typically considers papers that provide a critical review of epidemiologic evidence or discuss a unique perspective on how a method has been implemented in the current epidemiology literature.Abstract for Perspective and Counterpoint Perspective Articles: Context, Methods, Findings, Perspective
