Welcome to EpiToDate, a curated resource hub designed to compile, summarize, and share essential information for epidemiologists and related fields. Our goal is to bridge the gap between new insights and foundational knowledge, offering a range of resources from published literature and digital tools to educational websites. We aim to provide valuable insights for professionals and students in fields such as public health, biostatistics, medicine, and beyond, empowering them with reliable, up-to-date information.
These offer concise, thematic collections of 5–25 resources, each with a 50–150-word summary. Each summary covers the resource’s core insights, relevance, and limitations when applicable, ensuring that every entry is both informative and easy to digest. Whenever possible, open-access resources are prioritized or provided as alternatives. Quick List ideas include:
- Websites explaining specific epidemiological concepts
- Thematically linked articles
- Software, plugins, or tools to address specific challenges
- Infographics simplifying complex data
- Twitter tutorials by field experts
- Curated lists of valuable resources
For quick learning and self-assessment, our quizzes feature 5–25 multiple-choice questions around a central concept. Each quiz is designed to complement resources like articles, websites, or previous lists and can be paired with current literature or historical highlights.
This section features brief, digestible summaries of recent literature in epidemiology and related fields, focusing on one article at a time. Each summary provides:
- Context, key findings, and notable limitations in 450–750 words
- A link to the original article (open-access when possible)
- Links to PubPeer discussions
- Links to author-provided summaries on Twitter or websites
This section revisits significant historical articles (10+ years old) that have shaped epidemiology and its allied fields. Each summary (450–950 words) offers context, key takeaways, and the article’s ongoing relevance to the field today.
Our Longform Articles provide in-depth explorations of key topics, trends, or debates in epidemiology and allied fields. Each article delves deeply into a single subject, offering thorough analysis, context, and insights drawn from both recent and historical literature.
