The University of Chicago Press is delighted to announce that we will
publish Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology on behalf of the Society
for Healthcare Epidemiology of America beginning with Volume 27 (2006).
Full-text articles will be freely available online until April 1, 2006, via
the University of Chicago Press, Journals Division Web site. Back issues
will be available online by Feb. 10, 2006. Please see
www.journals.uchicago.edu/ICHE.
Edited by William R. Jarvis, MD, Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology
publishes original, peer-reviewed scientific articles for Epidemiologists,
Infection Control Practitioners, members of the Infection Control Committee,
or anyone involved in an infection control or epidemiology program in a
hospital or health care facility. Articles are dedicated to meeting the
needs of these professionals by providing scientific, authoritative
information concerning environmental monitoring and surveillance activities,
risk reduction, policy development, education, and epidemiologic and
laboratory investigation. Written by infection control practitioners and
epidemiologists, and guided by an Editorial Board composed of the nation's
leaders in the field, Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology provides
an essential forum for this vital information.
"Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology addresses a critically
important area of health care around the world and is an excellent addition
to the University of Chicago Press' distinguished portfolio of medical and
scientific journals ," said Everett Conner, Publications Manager, University
of Chicago Press.
The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) was founded in
1980 to foster the development and application of healthcare epidemiology
and to promote the highest standard for patient care and healthcare worker
safety. SHEA is an accrediting organization known for its dedication to
promoting communication and education in the field. In recent years, SHEA
members have also been successful adapting nosocomial infection control to a
broad range of quality-of-care issues, leading to increased participation by
clinicians and scientists in pediatrics, surgery, and microbiology. SHEA
welcomes as members all qualified individuals interested in healthcare
epidemiology.
"SHEA is delighted to partner with the University of Chicago Press to
publish Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology and to broaden the reach
and impact of vital research regarding quality-of-care issues," said Annette
Mucha, SHEA Executive Director. "The UCP supports our dedication to
information dissemination, and we are confident that together we will
strengthen our commitment to the presentation of the best scientific and
quality improvement methods."
The University of Chicago Press was established in 1891, making it one of
the oldest continuously operating university presses in the United States.
More than a century later, the University of Chicago Press is the largest
American university press, with a reputation for the publication of
distinguished scholarship. The Journals Division currently publishes 43
leading journals and 5 annuals in the fields of social sciences, humanities,
biological and medical sciences, and the physical sciences. For more
