jHASEJournal of HIV/AIDS Surveillance & Epidemiology

A Journal of Proceedings of the Institute of HIV/AIDS Surveillance & Epidemiology

jHASE Starter Edition - 2008
<selected exemplary published articles of the caliber that jHASE intends to publish>

Table of Contents - TOC

Non-Research TOC (Reviews, commentaries, chronicles and editorials) Research & Methods TOC [Original articles reporting HIV/AIDS Surveillance, Epidemiologic research and methods, including STDs, TB, and viral hepatitis (non-enteric)]
The Journal of HIV/AIDS Surveillance & Epidemiology,  jHASE (ISSN: 1930-6768) is an independent international open access peer-reviewed journal of proceedings of the Institute of HIV/AIDS Surveillance and Epidemiology (iHASE). All articles are published, without barriers to access, in quarterly volumes immediately upon acceptance. The journal is published by the nonprofit organization, Institutes of Epidemiology & Public Health, Inc. (New York & Harrisburg, USA and Johannesburg, South Africa), in collaboration with the Institute of HIV/AIDS Surveillance & Epidemiology.
  
Original articles reporting HIV/AIDS Surveillance & Epidemiologic research and methods (including related public health conditions)
   
In pursuit of the jHASE objective of providing quality assurance, training and education through peer review, jHASE encourages the submission of suitable articles that report research work on all aspects of applied Public Health surveillance and Epidemiologic research on HIV/AIDS and related public health conditions. jHASE editorial processes ensure that research is reported in the most appropriate way to assure fulfilment of the journal’s commitment to quality assurance and education through peer review.
   
Research Research Articles: The journal's main section is dedicated to quality assurance, training and education through peer review of submissions of full (standard) and brief (short) research articles on all aspects of applied Public Health surveillance and population-level Epidemiologic research on HIV/AIDS disease burden/risk factor assessment; prevention, treatment and care interventions; services access, utilization, and gaps; and other HIV-related public health conditions. Examples of research article core/focus areas may include those described in greater details on the pages outlining article types and core/focus areas.
   
  Standard reports: Fully fledged reports of data from original research (usually about 3500 words in main text, 5 tables/figures, and a structured abstract of 350 words);
   
 

Surveillance Studies:
Applied Public Health surveillance and population-level Epidemiologic research on HIV/AIDS (and related STDs, non-enteric viral hepatitis and TB) disease burden/risk factor assessment; services access, utilization, and gaps; etc.

Methods protocols of study design and procedures: Describe proposed, ongoing or published article's research methods, providing a detailed account of the hypothesis, rationale, design and procedures of the study. Submitted protocols must include all elements that would be ordinarily required by PHS/NIH guidelines or for IRBs review as ethics issues will also be peer-reviewed for all protocols submitted.  Protocol topics may be in the following areas:

  • HIV/AIDS surveillance & related Epidemiology research protocols; and 

  • Public Health intervention/practice protocols;

  Standard length protocols: Fully fledged protocols following NIH guidelines, including an abstract/summary.

Protocols of statistical analyses and data management methods and software: Review, validate and describe proposed, ongoing or published articles' methods, statistical analyses, specifically providing a detailed account of the hypotheses, statistical analyses methods and the rationale thereof, corresponding statistical software program procedures or menu-driven analyses steps, and/or data management procedures/tools. Generic protocols/reviews may describe statistical software programs, applications, tools or statistical algorithm implementations typically used in HIV/AIDS surveillance and Epidemiology studies or data management. In the spirit of open access, jHASE strongly encourages that submitted protocols include relevant statistical methodology elements, if any, that would be ordinarily required by PHS/NIH guidelines or for IRBs review as ethics issues will also be peer-reviewed for all protocols submitted. Typically, descriptions/reviews of the statistical analyses software programs will include statistical software programs and/or step-by-step tutorial-format archive of screenshots with the submitted manuscript in supplementary files. Statistical analyses protocol topics may be in the following areas:

  • HIV/AIDS surveillance & Epidemiology statistical analyses protocols; 

  • Public Health intervention/practice statistical analyses protocols; and

  • Data Management procedures/algorithms;

  Standard length protocols: Fully fledged protocols following NIH guidelines, including an abstract/summary.
