Injury Prevention was successfully launched in March 1995 and has become one of the leading international journals in this field. The journal gradually broadened its initial focus on child and adolescent injuries to include the prevention of injuries in all age groups. It has also expanded its scope to include all types of unintentional injuries, as well as occupational and intentional (violence-related) injuries.
It has been indexed by the National Library of Medicine since its second year and is also included in Index Medicus and Embase . Its Impact Factor for 2004 was 1.6 ranking in the top half of all public health journals.
Unlike many scientific journals, Injury Prevention is more than a collection of original articles, brief reports or methodological issues. To ensure its appeal to both academics and front-line workers, Injury Prevention regularly includes a News and Notes section and many other special features: program reports, guest editorials, commentaries, fillers, book reviews, and letters.
Above all, the papers reflect the Journal's international orientation. Its large and distinguished editorial board represents 20 different countries.
Furthermore, unlike many disciplines, the field is rife with controversy and the journal reflects this by occasionally publishing special articles. Nor does the Journal shy away from addressing the political element underlying many injury control issues. Consequently, Injury Prevention has stimulated great interest and debate worldwide.
