In a recent editorial (1Go), the statistical editors propose guidelines for preparing methodological papers for the American Journal of Epidemiology (AJE) in response to epidemiology's becoming methodologically and computationally more sophisticated. Infectious disease epidemiology is also evolving. More complex and dynamic models are being used to develop novel estimation procedures, to motivate improved study designs, and to explore indirect effects of interventions. All of the concepts and guidelines provided by the previous editorial also apply to methodological papers in infectious disease epidemiology. In this editorial, we suggest additional guidelines for preparing papers on mathematical modeling of infectious diseases. Such models are required to capture the effects of transmission . . .
