EID Magazine Covers


"Art images for the cover of Emerging Infectious Diseases are selected for communication effectiveness, audience appeal, artistic quality, stylistic continuity, and technical reproducibility. Art is drawn from many periods (ancient to contemporary) to "humanize" and enhance the scientific content by creating order and harmony, showing chaos, revealing truth, raising consciousness, immortalizing, surprising, fantasizing, illustrating ideas, stimulating the intellect, and firing the emotions."

Taking inspiration from JAMA? It has used art, fine and other, on its cover for years.

Near as I can tell from their respective websites, they both started putting art on their covers in 1997.

JAMA's been doing it for decades, but the journals are pretty mixed about how much of their back issues they have online.
