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.
