Eurosurveillance, the European scientific journal devoted to the epidemiology, surveillance, prevention and control of communicable diseases, has been selected for coverage by Thomson Reuters and is indexed and abstracted in the Science Citation Index Expanded (also known as SciSearch®) and in the Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition beginning with Volume 14 (1) 2009. The first official Impact Factor is expected to be allocated in 2011, after the two-year evaluation period.

Eurosurveillance was founded in 1995 and until March 2007 co-funded by the European Commission, the Institut de Veille Sanitaire (InVS) in Paris, France and the Health Protection Agency (HPA) in London, United Kingdom. As of March 2007, Eurosurveillance has been published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in Stockholm, Sweden, home of the current editorial team. From January 2008 the journal, which is editorially independent from its publisher, became a weekly online publication, with both rapid communications and news and longer in-depth research articles and surveillance and outbreak reports. Most articles are also published in a quarterly paper print compilation. In addition, e-alerts are sometimes released on events that need to be urgently communicated to the readers for rapid public health action. Timely publication of short authoritative papers on ongoing outbreaks or other relevant public health events is one of the major assets of the journal.

In 2009, 156 peer-reviewed rapid communications and 112 peer-reviewed long articles were published in Eurosurveillance, as well as a number of editorials, news pieces, letters and meeting reports. All articles are indexed in the PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus databases.

Eurosurveillance is an open-access journal, free of charge for both readers and authors. The journal currently has over 11,500 active subscribers, and the paper edition is printed in 6,000 copies. All articles from the beginning of the journal are available on the Eurosurveillance website.
Information collected by our website, such as the email addresses of our subscribers, will never be passed on to any third party, unless required by law.

In January 2010, Eurosurveillance was accredited by the Health on the Net (HON) Foundation (http://www.hon.ch) as adhering to the HON code of conduct (HONcode©). HON is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation with the purpose of supporting users to identify sound, reliable and trustworthy health information on the internet since 1995.
