Environmental Epidemiology Impact Factor |
|
|
ENVIRONMENTAL EPIDEMIOLOGY receives its first ever journal impact factor. Clarivate has just released the new journal impact factor list for 2022. It is a great pleasure to notice that Environmental Epidemiology is now listed in the Emerging Science Citation Index (ESCI). The impact factor for 2022 is a healthy 3.6 which ranks EE at position 16/99 in the Public, Environmental and Occupational Health ESCI, and at position 21/56 in the Environmental Sciences ESCI. In the overall rankings, the impact factor of 3.6 places, EE at rank 125-399, well within the second quartile of the expanded science citation index for the Public, Environmental and Occupational Health category, and at rank 151/330 for the Environmental Sciences field.
This is good news, and it is good to mention that the publisher has worked tirelessly to get EE indexed and into the impact factor list. We can anticipate more manuscripts coming in, and (hopefully) more citations to EE papers now that we have achieved the greater viability that comes with the impact factor.

The Conference Playbook: Strategies for Presenting, Networking, and Managing Expectations
Join the EPILOG webinar series for its third installment, “The Conference Playbook: Strategies for Presenting, Networking, and Managing Expectations”. This latest addition takes a comprehensive dive into the world of conferences for PhD students, covering presentation readiness, adept question handling, and artful networking techniques. The dialogue centers the personal experiences and anecdotes from our panelists on navigating conferences, and it addresses the specific challenges encountered by new PhD students and early career researchers —especially those who started their PhD journey during the pandemic. This webinar will discuss the intricacies of both physical and virtual participation, offer insight on effective engagement with senior academics, and help junior members optimize the conference experience.
Mark your calendar and get ready to level up your conference game ahead of ISEE2023!

Capacity Building and Education
ISEE Online Course on Introduction to Environmental Epidemiology |
|
|
A course from the Capacity Building and Education Committee (CAPE). We are thrilled to announce the launch of our comprehensive online course on environmental epidemiology, designed to provide a broad overview of classic and modern environmental hazards and the epidemiologic methods used to evaluate their impacts on human health.
This course is ideal for individuals with some exposure to epidemiology, having taken at least one basic course in the subject. We welcome you to join us in this educational journey. Our aim is to cater to participants interested in deepening their knowledge of study design, analysis, and applications of environmental epidemiology. The course will be conducted as a series of online webinars spread over 12 months. Each webinar will consist of two sessions: one theoretical session and one applied session. To accommodate different time zones and ensure maximum accessibility, we will offer two instances of each webinar. One will be fully synchronous, allowing for real-time interaction, while the other will feature recorded lectures but maintain synchronous practical elements. The first webinar is scheduled for early Fall, kicking off an engaging and immersive learning experience.
We look forward to welcoming you to the ISEE Online Course on Introduction to Environmental Epidemiology, where we will explore the critical intersection of environmental hazards and human health. Stay tuned for further updates and mark your calendars for early Fall when the first webinar begins. For the latest news and information, follow #ISEEnviEpiCourse Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and the ISEE website.

Communications Committee New Funding Opportunity: Supporting Publication Costs! |
|
|
Recognizing the need to support up and coming work from our members and the increasing cost of article publication fees, the ISEE Communications Committee is excited to announce the launch of a new pilot program that will support some of our ISEE members by providing funding for publication costs. In 2023, the committee anticipates selecting 3 awardees with financial support of up to $5,000 to cover costs related to publication of an article.
Any active student, postdoctoral researcher from any country, or early-stage investigator from a low to middle income country (LMIC) are encouraged to apply. To be eligible, the paper must not already be submitted to a journal. Additionally, the applicant must be a current and active member of ISEE as well as the first or senior author of the paper being submitted. Papers that are currently under review at journals cannot be submitted for consideration.
Applicants will be asked to submit their CV, a manuscript draft, the name of the journal the paper will be submitted to, and a statement about their work and how it relates to the ISEE mission as part of their application (approximately 1-2 paragraphs). Submissions can be made via this link.
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until October 31, 2023 and will be reviewed within 2 months of submission. Please note: all available awards may be distributed before October 31. |

Dan Wartenberg Fund
Discover Community Environmental Health Science
|
|
|
Are you interested in learning more about the intersection of community, environment, and health? Look no further than the exciting new webpages on community environmental health science now available on the ISEE website! These pages provide resources and information on the ways to involve communities in research, policy, decision-making, and more.
The resources page is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning more about community environmental health science. ISEE encourages you to submit resources such as articles, syllabi, guidance, and more that include participatory elements. We will consider resources on topics including, but not limited to practice of community engaged science, participatory processes, explanation of science for policy, and ethics in community health science. A review process will maintain the quality and focus on participatory elements.
These pages are supported by Dan Wartenberg Fund, which means that we can continue to expand and improve upon them in the future. With this support, we can continue to update the resources page with the latest research and information, as well as gather feedback from community members like you on what kinds of resources are most helpful.
