From the Editor-in-ChiefRoland J. Thorpe, Jr, PhD

Dear Friends,

Thank you for making 2018 yet another remarkable year for Ethnicity & Disease (Ethn Dis)! This year marked the journal’s 28th year of publishing research and scientific evidence on ethnic health and disease patterns and associated risk factors.

Before I share our accomplishments, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to the many individuals who make Ethn Dis a great journal. I would like to thank Anne M. Dubois, MWC, managing editor and Mark H. Betourne, technical director, for their tireless efforts in overseeing the critical infrastructure and day-to day operations of the journal. Our 11 associate editors, editor-in-chief emeritus, and 12 editorial board members of the 2018 editorial board continued to play a key role in maintaining the highest quality and direction of the journal.

In February 2018, we learned that the International Society of Hypertension in Blacks (ISHIB), who was the publisher of Ethn Dis, was merging with the American Heart Association (AHA). However, AHA did not have any intention of expanding their journal collection. We were asked by ISHIB to take on the journal and we moved forward with creating Ethnicity & Disease, Inc. as publisher of the journal. We are proud to announce that Ethnicity & Disease, Inc., is now a Maryland nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, whose sole purpose and mission is the publication of the journal. I am grateful for the leadership of ISHIB for their oversight and support throughout the years. This collective, dedicated team has done an outstanding job at expanding our readership and strengthening our quality of peer-reviewed publications.

My vision for Ethn Dis is straightforward: to review manuscript submissions in a timely fashion while maintaining scientific rigor; to provide health disparities and health equity scholars a home for their work; and to encourage the submission of thought-provoking, cutting-edge articles that can lead to policy- and intervention-relevant solutions. My goals, which we have already begun to address, for 2019 include:

• publishing three supplements,• enhancing the reviewer experience and panel, • increasing visibility for the Ethn Dis and improving metrics measuring impact,• involving the editorial board members.

It is with an extraordinary amount of pride that I present this annual report that highlights many of Ethn Dis notable achievements in 2018. Within this report, you will find empirical updates as well as organizational and process initiatives for the journal. Please celebrate these achievements and continued progress with me as we continue to pursue the journal’s goals for the upcoming year. The accomplishments during the past year and the work ahead depends on the contributions of the dedicated editorial team, the support of our subscribers, the contributions of our authors, and the interests of our readers who extend the journal’s reach by translating our published research into policy, programs and other activities that work toward improved health outcomes for all populations. I am immensely grateful to those individuals whose energy and support sustain and expand the journal.

Thank you and I look forward to another amazing year for Ethn Dis!

Ethnicity & Disease Annual Report 2018 3

Ethnicity&Disease

Ethnicity & Disease is an international journal that exclusively publishes

information on the causal and associative relationships in the etiology of

common illnesses through the study of ethnic patterns of disease. Our peer-

reviewed journal publishes original reports, reviews, editorials and perspectives,

special articles, commentaries, and letters on such topics as ethnic differentials

in disease rates, the impact of migration on health status, social and ethnic

factors related to health care access, and metabolic epidemiology. A major

priority of the journal is to provide a forum for exchange between the

United States and developing countries around the world.

Throughout the year, the journal’s team of reviewers have very actively provided high-quality, scientifically rigorous

reviews under the guidance of associate editors leading manuscripts through the journal’s peer review standards.

Many thanks to those who have given their time and expertise to ensure the journal continues to offer valid research

focused on ethnic minority health.

Initiatives and Developments

2018 & 2019

Peer Review Panel

In 2018, the peer review working group developed a mentoring-in-peer-review

program, which will rollout in early 2019. Through this effort, the journal’s

associate editors will offer a structured, high-touch training in peer review via

regular mentor-mentee interactions. Mentees, junior faculty at research institutions

across the country, will improve skills in providing a constructive, critical

assessment of scholarly papers.

Supplements

Strategic Partnerships to Advance Health Equity – February 2019

Precision Medicine Advancing Health Disparities – Fall 2019

The 2019 and 2020 volumes will feature themed issues on topics important to

the journal’s focus to encourage basic research in the ethnic patterns of health and

disease, to improve the educational procedures for teaching about these diseases, and

to disseminate research and education information accordingly. Volume 29, Issue 4,

entitled Training the Next Generation of Health Equity Researchers: Exploring STEM

Pathways and Best Practices, will be released in fall 2019. Other themes are under

consideration for Volume 30 to be published in 2020.

2019 and Beyond

We look forward to another productive year and are working toward these

main goals while we continue to maintain scientific rigor, on-target editorial

content and expansion of the literature related to ethnic patterns of disease,

associated risk factors, and the social determinants of health:

∆ Increase visibility for the journal and metrics measuring impact

∆ Improve review panel policies and processes

∆ Publish two or more supplements each year

Researchers and research center

directors are invited to submit a

brief proposal to Ethnicity & Disease

if your center has a series of research

manuscripts related to a distinct

theme. The proposal should describe

the proposed content, source of

supplement research and funding

for the supplement, as well as

estimated number of articles for the

supplement. More information can
