The International Epidemiological Association (IEA) and Oxford University Press (OUP) are pleased to announce that work has begun on the 5th edition of A dictionary of epidemiology, whose first four editions were edited by John Last (Ottawa) and published by OUP. This new edition will be edited under the leadership of Miquel Porta (Barcelona), who was selected for such task by the IEA Council in 2000. The tentative publication date is September of 2008, to coincide with the IEA world congress of epidemiology in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Members of IEA and all other epidemiologists worldwide are cordially invited to contribute to the work by submitting to the editor amendments, corrections of existing definitions, and new material. There is already a small file of suggested amendments and possible additions to the new edition, which John Last received and kindly guarded since publication of the 4th edition in 2001.1
