About the Journal of Lung Cancer Epidemiology
The Journal of Lung Cancer Epidemiology (JLCE) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal of research on the epidemiology of lung cancer. It has been published by Open Access Pub since 2022.
Purpose and readership
Evidence on lung cancer in populations
JLCE serves epidemiologists, clinicians, public health practitioners, policymakers and educators who need sound evidence on how lung cancer occurs, what causes it and how it can be detected, prevented and treated across populations.
JLCE publishes research on the epidemiology of lung cancer: its occurrence and trends, causes and exposures, screening and early detection, prevention and control, and outcomes and care studied at the population level. Clinical, molecular and methodological work is welcome when it informs these questions.
The journal considers work from local, national, regional and multi-country settings in every region of the world, and makes the results freely available to everyone who can use them. The Aims and Scope page describes the research areas, study designs and eligibility in full.
