Section Information
To assist health workers and researchers involved in public healthcare and decision making, Life has created a new Section, called Epidemiology. This Section originally discussed COVID-19-related epidemiological studies, but is now open to submissions on any matter relevant to the epidemiology of other communicable or noncommunicable disorders. We especially encourage original research and secondary research (systematic reviews and metanalyses). Life is committed to disseminating research as quickly as possible. All content related to epidemiology is freely available. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
