VIRTUAL COURSES, WEBINARS & EDUCATION |
HEI-Sponsored Fellowship Program
|
In partnership with ISEE and ISES, the Health Effects Institute (HEI) is launching a new paid summer fellowship program in North America to support and encourage students from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrounds to pursue environmental health sciences. To initiate this program, ISEE is inviting its members at academic or nonprofit institutions to apply to mentor and host an undergraduate student in their research group for Summer 2023. Topics and techniques can include environmental exposures, epidemiology, bench science, data analysis, and field work; the specific research project can be defined closer to the outreach to potential fellowship applicants in mid-December.
At this time, we would like to gauge initial interest in this program. If you are interested, please email fellowship@healtheffects.org by September 2, 2022. Mentor applications will open in mid-September and will be due October 28, 2022. For more information about the program, please contact fellowship@healtheffects.org.

ISEE's Peer Editing Program
|
|
|
|
The ISEE Peer Editing Program (PEP) provides manuscript editing assistance in order to increase acceptance rates of high-quality research manuscripts submitted by researchers affiliated with institutions low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) and those from under-represented minority groups. Go to the PEP webpage for more information and eligibility criteria.
Please direct all inquiries to pep@iseepi.org. |

|
After the first successful year (we think!) of our mentoring program, we are now announcing Year 2, starting in October 2022 (after the ISEE 2022 meeting). If you are interested in participating, please use this link to register! |
ENVIRONMENTAL EPIDEMIOLOGY JOURNAL NEWS |
Environmental Epidemiology now indexed in PUBMED, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar
|
Environmental Epidemiology is now in its fifth full year of publication. It continues to attract high quality manuscripts, many of which are (co-)authored by ISEE members, publishing six issues every year, and manuscripts are posted online within weeks of acceptance.
A major issue is being indexed in all the right databases. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Publisher, Environmental Epidemiology is now indexed in 4 major databases, PUBMED, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar. Published papers have been indexed in Google Scholar from the very beginning but indexing in the other three databases has only been realized in the last year or so. The status now is that all papers from 2017 until the present can be found in PUBMED. Scopus and Web of Science have started including the most recent papers first, and will complete indexing in the coming months.
Environmental Epidemiology does not have a ‘Web of Science’ impact factor yet. The current owner of Web of Science, Clarivate, has a rigorous process which starts by accepting a new journal to be indexed, and then evaluates whether it is ready for an impact factor. We should know by the end of this calendar year whether an impact factor will be issued in June 2023. This is not a process which can be influenced much by the editor or the publisher, apart from selecting good quality papers for publication, which attract the attention of the scientific community. Perhaps the most influential party is you – the authors! Now that Environmental Epidemiology is fully indexed, the likelihood of your published papers being found, read and cited has surely increased. We will be happy to receive your manuscripts, and shepherd them through the high-level peer review to which many of you have been contributing over the last five years. Especially the editorial board members have been very loyal in providing expert reviews of some of the more challenging submissions that were received.
Bert Brunekreef, Editor in Chief Ingrid Dahmen, Editorial assistant. |
