Injury Epidemiology
Injury Epidemiology is a pioneering, open access journal publishing cutting-edge epidemiologic studies of both intentional and unintentional injuries.
Political violence – violence intended to advance political goals - and public support for political violence is increasing in the United States and in many other countries. This has profound implications for public safety and mental health as well as democracy.
Injury Epidemiology publishes peer-reviewed studies which generate objective and practical knowledge to inform interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality from injuries, including ones from violence. We welcome submissions from any academic discipline relevant to understanding political violence. We are seeking theory-driven studies with empirical data on injurious acts of political violence, threats of political violence, or attitudes that support or oppose political violence.
Manuscripts will be reviewed in a timely manner and published online soon after acceptance. We offer authors an opportunity to submit an abstract prior to full manuscript submission to provide rapid feedback about the fit of the study for this Collection.
