About this journal

Releve Epidemiologique Hebdomadaire' (REW) is a highly respected and influential publication in the field of public health and infectious disease surveillance. Founded in 1923, REW provides weekly updates on the epidemiological situation of infectious diseases in France and worldwide. The journal's primary objective is to disseminate timely and accurate information on outbreaks, trends, and surveillance activities, enabling health professionals, policymakers, and the public to stay informed about emerging health threats.

REW's scope encompasses a wide range of infectious diseases, including those of public health importance, such as influenza, measles, rubella, and HIV. The journal also covers emerging and re-emerging diseases, zoonotic diseases, and vaccine-preventable diseases. Its content includes descriptive epidemiology, disease surveillance data, research articles, and policy recommendations. Key themes explored in REW include disease prevention and control, vaccination, antimicrobial resistance, and the impact of global health events on infectious disease trends.

The journal's target audience is primarily public health professionals, including epidemiologists, physicians, nurses, and public health officials. REW also reaches researchers, policymakers, and members of the public interested in infectious disease surveillance and public health. The journal's content is designed to be accessible to a broad audience, with articles written in a clear and concise style, supported by informative graphs and tables.

REW has had a significant impact on public health practices in France and globally. Its timely and accurate reporting has informed public health decision-making, contributed to the development of effective disease control strategies, and raised awareness about infectious disease threats. The journal's influence is further enhanced by its strong international collaboration network, which allows it to disseminate valuable information beyond French borders and contribute to a global understanding of infectious disease epidemiology.
