Infection, Disease and Health – Online submission system now available

[brett.mitchell@avondale.edu.au]

I am pleased to let you know that we are now accepting online submissions for Infection, Disease and Health (Healthcare Infection replacement). Details regarding the Editorial board, guide for authors and a link to online submission can be found here: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/infection-disease-and-health/

The new system allows for faster uploading of manuscripts (less fields to complete) and flexibility in the presentation of your manuscript. We aim to make submitting to Infection, Disease and Health straightforward. In coming weeks, a new website for the journal will be launched. This website will be interactive utilising social media, have current and past editions of the journal available, journal metrics, editors choice and much more. I will provide more detail on this shortly.

If you wish to have an article considered for the first edition of Infection, Disease and Health (IDH), I would encourage you to submit an article in the next 2-3 weeks. Of course, article can be submitted at any time.

During 2016, if you choose to make your article open-access, there is a significantly reduced article processing charge (50% reduction) where any listed author is an ACIPC member. After 2016, a US$450 discount will apply where an author is an ACIPC member. This makes the article processing fee for IHD of one of the cheapest in our field. Like Healthcare Infection, authors can still choose not to make their article open access – in which case there is no cost.

For those that followed Healthcare Infection on Twitter, you may have noticed changes to the account to reflect the move to IHD. You do not need to do anything. For those on Twitter and not yet following, I would encourage you to do so @IDHjournal We now have over 1000 followers. Retweeting tweets from @IDHjournal greatly assist exposure of the journal and the College. Your support of this is appreciated. In some weeks, with your retweets, we have had a reach of 10,000+ people.

Regards
