Journal Guide

Tuberculosis is a speciality journal focusing on basic experimental research on tuberculosis, notably on bacteriological, immunological and pathogenesis aspects of the disease. The journal publishes original research and reviews on the host response and immunology of tuberculosis and the molecular biology, genetics and physiology of the organism.Areas covered include:ImmunologyImmunogeneticsPathogeneticsMicrobiologyMicrobial physiologyPathogenesisPathologyMolecular epidemiologyDiagnosticsVaccine developmentDrug resistanceThe resurgence of interest in tuberculosis has accelerated the pace of relevant research and Tuberculosis has grown with it, as the only journal dedicated to experimental biomedical research in tuberculosis.To view the benefits of Online Submission please click here.

Vaccine is the journal for those interested in vaccines and vaccination. Submissions to the following categories are welcomed: Human Vaccines - infectious diseases; Human Vaccines - non-infectious diseases; Veterinary Vaccines; Immunology and Animal Models; Vectors, Adjuvants and Delivery Systems; Production, manufacturing; Vaccine Safety; Regulatory, Societal and Legislation Aspects; History of Vaccinology.

Vaccines (ISSN 2076-393X) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal focused on laboratory and clinical vaccine research, utilization and immunization. Vaccines publishes high quality reviews, regular research papers, communications and case reports. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in open access form in as much detail as possible. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds

Sin duda una de las mejores publicaciones para conocer los avances en el campo de las vacunaciones preventivas, tanto en el ámbito de la investigación básica como aplicada y en la evaluación de programas de vacunaciones. Su alta calidad y utilidad la ha llevado a estar indexada en los prestigiosos índices IME y SCOPUS.4 NÚMEROS AL AÑOPara más información, consulte http://www.elsevier.es/vac

The journal reports basic, comparative and clinical immunology as they pertain to the animal species designated here: livestock, poultry, and fish species that are major food animals and companion animals such as cats, dogs, horses and camels, and wildlife species that act as reservoirs for food, companion or human infectious diseases, or as models for human disease.Rodent models of infectious diseases that are of importance in the animal species indicated above,when the disease requires a level of containment that is not readily available for larger animal experimentation (ABSL3), will be considered. Papers on rabbits, lizards, guinea pigs, badgers, armadillos, elephants, antelope, and buffalo will be reviewed if the research advances our fundamental understanding of immunology, or if they act as a reservoir of infectious disease for the primary animal species designated above, or for humans. Manuscripts employing other species will be reviewed if justified as fitting into the categories above.The following topics are appropriate: biology of cells and mechanisms of the immune system, immunochemistry, immunodeficiencies, immunodiagnosis, immunogenetics, immunopathology, immunology of infectious disease and tumors, immunoprophylaxis including vaccine development and delivery, immunological aspects of pregnancy including passive immunity, autoimmuity, neuroimmunology, and transplanatation immunology. Manuscripts that describe new genes and development of tools such as monoclonal antibodies are also of interest when part of a larger biological study. Studies employing extracts or constituents (plant extracts, feed additives or microbiome) must be sufficiently defined to be reproduced in other laboratories and also provide evidence for possible mechanisms and not simply show an effect on the immune system.Ideas and suggestions for Special Issues are also welcome. These may focus on a planned conference/symposium for which a selection of the best papers could be published together (after peer review). Alternatively, they could consist of a group of invited papers which together present an up-to-date overview on an important immunological topic.

Viral Immunology is a peer-reviewed journal centralizing on the growing body of research in viral immunology, with papers on clinical, veterinary, and laboratory research. This journal is essential for virologists, immunologists, microbiologists, infectious disease specialists, research and development scientists, epidemiologists, veterinary researchers, and other professionals who need to be kept up to date on all aspects of viral immunology. Topics covered include: • Human and animal viral immunology • Research and development of viral vaccines, including field trials • Immunological characterization of viral components • Virus-based immunological diseases, including autoimmune syndromes • Pathogenic mechanisms • Viral diagnostics • Tumor and cancer immunology with virus as the primary factor • Viral immunology methods .

Xenotransplantation, which is published bi-monthly, provides its readers with rapid communication of new findings in the field of organ and tissue transplantation across species barriers with the goal of clinical xenotransplantation (for the purpose of clinical application). Unsolicited contributions of full length and brief communications dealing with both basic and applied studies in this field will be considered for publication pending scientific review to assure high quality. In addition, review articles of timely subjects will be solicited by the editors. Xenotransplantation is the journal for all those who wish to stay at the forefront of this fast developing and emerging field.

npj Vaccines is an online-only, open access, multidisciplinary journal that is dedicated to publishing the finest and most high-quality research and development on human and veterinary vaccines.
