ISEE Commentaries
ISEE Sponsored Commentaries
Dear Colleagues,
We invite ISEE members to submit commentaries and policy statements. Commentaries can be on any topic of broad interest to ISEE and the readership of Environmental Epidemiology. We would like to publish commentaries that represent a diversity of perspectives and build the capacity of the ISEE and Environmental Epidemiology global community. The goal is to create a public forum for scientific discourse across a range of environmental topics.
Commentaries are short and focused articles that seek to communicate opinions on a key issue or provide an insight into an important development that is of interest to a large number of scientists. Commentaries encourage further exchange of ideas in the research community.

The Process
Active ISEE members (up to date on membership fees) who wish to contribute an ISEE sponsored commentary to Environmental Epidemiology should follow the process outlined in this document. While commentaries can be author-initiated or solicited, all commentaries undergo peer review at Environmental Epidemiology and are subject to editorial decisions regarding acceptance. Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting.
If an ISEE member is interested in submitting an ISEE sponsored commentary, please reach out to the ISEE liaisons (commentaries[@]iseepi.org) prior to writing the commentary with information about the proposed topic and a brief outline.
