This guest edition of Journal Watch intends to bring to the fore a few articles related to the topic of social sciences and infection prevention and control (IPC). Unlike previous features where new research and other developments in the field are highlighted, we take this opportunity to consider what we believe are key publications that, although they are not new research, have significant value. We believe they are worth a second or even first visit, including for those very new papers featured. Organisational memory, the prevention of wheel reinvention, and a celebration of some of the important work of our predecessors, when Journal Watch was not yet conceived, have all contributed to the choice of articles. A brief description of the articles chosen is provided as well as some additional commentary by the authors in an attempt to stimulate readers to consider a renewed focus on the future of infection prevention publications. The authors would like to thank IPS, in particular the Editor of JIP, for the chance to publish this guest Journal Watch.
