The journal

What IJIP publishes

Infection prevention is carried out at a particular point by someone responsible for it — a laboratory that identifies a resistant organism, a surgical team that changes a routine, an immunization program that closes a gap in coverage, a ministry that writes a standard. This journal holds that whole range in one place, so evidence produced at one point reaches the people working at the others.

It is international in the plain sense: it publishes prevention research from any country and any resource setting, and asks authors to describe the setting closely enough that a reader elsewhere can judge what transfers.

Subject coverage runs from sources, reservoirs and resistance, through detection and surveillance, the measures that interrupt transmission and the means that protect exposed people, to the programs, systems and policy that keep prevention in place. Laboratory, clinical, environmental, veterinary, behavioral and health-systems contributions are all read on the terms of the discipline that produced them.

The full statement of subject coverage, the forms of work the journal publishes and the test a manuscript has to meet belong to the aims and scope page.
