It is published monthly, with articles published online ahead of print at the accepted manuscript and corrected proof stages. Entire issues have been dedicated to abstracts from academic meetings (Society of Epidemiologic Research, North American Congress of Epidemiology), the history of the Epidemic Intelligence Service of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),[1] the life of George W. Comstock,[2] and the celebration of notable anniversaries of schools of public health (University of California, Berkeley, School of Public Health;[3] Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine;[4] Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health).

AJE is currently ranked 5th in the field of epidemiology according to Google Scholar.[5] It has an impact factor of 4.897 (as of 2020), and the 5-year impact factor is 5.827 according to Journal Citation Reports.[6]
