Abstract
The series has two main aims.First, it publishes textbooks and monographs addressing recent advances in specific research areas.Second, it provides comprehensive overviews of the methods and results of key epidemiological studies marking cornerstones of epidemiological practice, which are otherwise scattered across numerous narrow-focused publications.Thus the series offers in-depth knowledge on a variety of topics, in particular, on epidemiological concepts and methods, statistical tools, applications, epidemiological practice and public health.It also covers innovative areas such as molecular and genetic epidemiology, statistical principles in epidemiology, modern study designs, data management, quality assurance and other recent methodological developments.Written by the key experts and leaders in corresponding fields, the books in the series offer both broad overviews and insights into specific areas and topics.The series serves as an in-depth reference source that can be used complementarily to the "The Handbook of Epidemiology," which provides a starting point of orientation for interested readers (2nd edition published in 2014 http://www.springer.
