Cohort Profiles: what are they good for?

TheIJE editorial team asked me to write about my views of the Cohort Profiles published in the journal, in light of a pilot study of the longevity and utility of the series.1 In the early phase of co-editingIJE, George Davey Smith and I looked at ways of improving communication, strengthening skills and learning from the history of epidemiology. Our first innovations were Point-Counterpoint discussions of controversial topics and Reprints and Reflections —re-publication of ‘IJE classics ’ which soon ran out,2 –4 and articles of significance that were not widely known due to being published in non-English languages or obscure journals or just being overlooked.
