Journal Guide

An international team of editors and scientific advisors maintains the high standard of quality set by Immunobiology since it first appeared in 1909. With contributions by prominent experts in the field, the journal is a focal point of scientific interest. Published research findings are a vital link between scientists and clinicians active at the experimental levels of immunobiology, serology, hematology, allergy, infectious diseases, transplantation, and nonspecific resistance. A new fast track line for high priority publications will speed up communication between scientists all over the world. Immunobiology, the world's first immunological journal, carries on the tradition set by such distinguished scientists as Carl Oluf Jensen, Sibasaburo Kitasato, Karl Landsteiner, Max Neisser and others.

Immunogenetics publishes original papers, brief communications, and reviews on research in the following areas: immunogenetics of cell interaction, immunogenetics of tissue differentiation and development, phylogeny of alloantigens and of immune response, genetic control of immune response and disease susceptibility, and genetics and biochemistry of alloantigens.

IMMUNOLOGIC RESEARCH represents a unique medium for the presentation, interpretation, and clarification of complex scientific data. Information is presented in the form of interpretive synthesis reviews, original research articles, symposia, editorials, and theoretical essays. The scope of coverage extends to cellular immunology, immunogenetics, molecular and structural immunology, immunoregulation and autoimmunity, immunopathology, tumor immunology, host defense and microbial immunity, including viral immunology, immunohematology, mucosal immunity, complement, transplantation immunology, clinical immunology, neuroimmunology, immunoendocrinology, immunotoxicology, translational immunology, and history of immunology. Edited to serve as an information resource, as well as a conventional medium for innovative original research reports, the journal introduces a format of interpretive synthesis reviews authored by investigators who discovered many of the findings they report.

Disseminating immunological developments on a worldwide basis, Immunological Investigations encompasses all facets of fundamental and applied immunology, including immunohematology and the study of allergies. This journal provides information presented in the form of original research articles and book reviews, giving a truly in-depth examination of the latest advances in molecular and cellular immunology.

While each volume of Immunological Reviews is devoted to a single topic of immunological research, collectively their aim is to provide a broad and continously updated survey of advances in basic immunology and their clinical applications.

mmunology & Cell Biology focuses on the general functioning of the immune system in its broadest sense, with a particular emphasis on its cell biology.Areas that are covered include but are not limited to: * Cellular immunology * Innate and adaptive immunity * Immune responses to pathogens * Tumour immunology * Immunopathology * Immunotherapy * Immunogenetics * Immunological studies in humans and model organisms (including mouse, rat, Drosophila etc)This leading journal has an established international reputation, built on more than 85 years of innovative publishing. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed Original Articles, Short Communications and Outstanding Observation Articles that describe new research results. Outstanding Observation Articles describe striking reproducible observations that have extremely important conceptual implications but do not necessarily include insights into the underlying molecular mechanism. This manuscript category allows publication of extraordinary findings soon after their discovery. Methodological papers or technical reports of high quality will also be considered for publication as Original Articles or Short Communications. Immunology & Cell Biology also publishes Reviews and News and Commentary articles, which provide succinct summaries of, respectively, an area or a specific research advance in immunology. Landmark articles are brief commentaries which highlight the historical significance of a particular piece of research relevant to the journal's scope. Editorial articles are brief comments written by the editor(s) of the journal or by guest editor(s) of Special Features (see below) based on the contents of the current issue or topical subjects that fall within the scope of the journal. Immunology & Cell Biology occasionally publishes Meeting Reports that briefly detail the discussions, presentations and events at a relevant recent meeting.

Immunology Letters provides a vehicle for the speedy publication of experimental papers, (mini)Reviews and Letters to the Editor addressing all aspects of molecular and cellular immunology. The essential criteria for publication will be clarity, experimental soundness and novelty. Results contradictory to current accepted thinking or ideas divergent from actual dogmas will be considered for publication provided that they are based on solid experimental findings.Preference will be given to papers of immediate importance to other investigators, either by their experimental data, new ideas or new methodology. Scientific correspondence to the Editor-in-Chief related to the published papers may also be accepted provided that they are short and scientifically relevant to the papers mentioned, in order to provide a continuing forum for discussion.Special issues:Suggestions for special issue topics and guest editors can be sent to Deirdre Dunne, d.dunne@elsevier.comBenefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
