GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY

Genetic Epidemiology (ISSN 0741-0395) is a peer-reviewed academic journal published in the United States by Wiley-Liss Inc., dedicated to advancing the field of genetic epidemiology through the rigorous examination of how genetic factors influence disease risk and health outcomes. Published on a bimonthly basis, the journal serves as a vital platform for researchers exploring the complex interplay between genes and environmental exposures, with a particular emphasis on the development and application of statistical genetic methods for analyzing large-scale population data. As a non-open access publication indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), it maintains a moderate impact factor of approximately 2.5 and is typically classified in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal ranking in the fields of medicine and genetics. While the journal is known for its stringent peer-review process, which ensures high scientific quality, authors should be mindful of the potentially competitive submission landscape and longer review cycles. Consequently, Genetic Epidemiology remains a reputable venue for scholars and researchers committed to contributing robust, methodologically sound studies to the understanding of heritable components of human disease.
