**new Elsevier JOURNAL:  Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Epidemiology **

I am founding and chief editor for this new journal:

Aims and Scope

 

Spatial and Spatio-Temporal Epidemiology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that provides a home for high quality work which straddles the areas of GIS, epidemiology, exposure science, and spatial statistics.  The journal  focuses on answering epidemiological questions where spatial and spatio-temporal approaches are appropriate. The methods should help to advance our understanding of infectious and non-infectious diseases in humans.  The journal will also consider applications where health care provision is the focus. Coverage of veterinary topics will be included, and those with direct human health implications are especially welcome.  The journal places special emphasis on spatio-temporal aspects of emerging diseases (e.g., avian flu, SARS), development of spatial statistical and computational methods, and novel applications of geospatial technology (e.g., GPS, GIS) for shedding insights on exposure and disease processes. 
 

The journal will accept two different types of submissions: 1) methods papers that outline new methodology in the areas of GIS, spatial statistics, exposure science, and/or epidemiology; and 2) Case Study/Applications papers where recently developed methodology is applied to novel applications with a clear exposure/disease focus.
