Wissenschaftliche Literaturempfehlungen für Forschende und Behandelnde

Die Liste umfasst vor allem englischsprachige, wissenschaftliche Publikationen, die in internationalen Fachzeitschriften veröffentlicht wurden. Doch auch einige ausgewählte deutschsprachige Fachartikel sind darunter. Die Liste erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit. Das RKI sowie unsere internationalen Expertinnen und Experten haben die Publikationen nach ihren jeweiligen Maßstäben ausgewählt. Zur besseren Übersicht wurden die Publikationen in Kategorien eingeordnet, auch wenn sie teilweise auch andere Themengebiete behandeln.

Zudem stellt das RKI jeden Monat eine Auswahl von aktuellen Publikationen zu den Themenbereichen Epidemiologie und Public Health bereit.
