PHARMACOEPIDEMIOLOGY AND DRUG SAFETY

The aim of Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety is to provide an international forum for the communication and evaluation of data methods and opinion in the emerging discipline of pharmacoepidemiology. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed reports of original research invited reviews and a variety of guest editorials and commentaries embracing scientific medical statistical and legal aspects of pharmacoepidemiology and post-marketing surveillance of drug safety. Appropriate material in these categories may also be considered for publication as a Brief Communication. Particular areas of interest include: design results analysis and interpretation of post-marketing surveillance and other studies looking at specific drugs populations and outcomes methods for detection and evaluation of drug-associated adverse events assessments of risk versus benefit ratios in drug therapy patterns of drug utilization relationships between pharmacoepidemiology and the formulation and interpretation of regulatory guidelines The Publishers recognize the need of journal users to access articles through a variety of channels and are committed to providing a wide range of options in the future. The Publishers are also aware that new communication media increase the threat to authors' own rights through unauthorized distribution alteration or attribution. To enable the Publishers to make the published version of articles available as widely as possible while protecting authors' rights to be associated with their work it is essential that a Copyright Transfer Agreement form is signed for every article which is to be considered for publication in the journal. The form can be photocopied from the journal or copies can be obtained on request from the Publisher or printed from this Web site. Inclusion of a signed form with the manuscript at the original submission stage will speed up processing and eventual publication of the article.
