Human Immunology publishes full-length, original, hypothesis-driven basic and clinical research articles as well as brief communications, reviews and editorials covering immunogenetics, transplantation immunology, autoimmunity, and immunity to infectious diseases in humans. It also publishes short population reports, which are tied to the allelefrequencies.net database, describing allele frequencies of HLA and KIR.The journal's scope includes understanding the genetic and functional mechanisms that distinguish human individuals in their immune responses to allografts, pregnancy, infections or vaccines as well as the immune responses that lead to autoimmunity, allergy or drug hypersensitivity. It also includes examining the distribution of the genes controlling these responses in populations.Research areas include: • Studies of the genetics, genomics, polymorphism, evolution, and population distribution of immune-related genes • Studies of the expression, structure and function of the products of immune-related genes • Immunogenetics of susceptibility to infectious and autoimmune disease, and allergy • The role of the immune-related genes in hematopoietic stem cell, solid organ, and vascularized composite allograft transplant • Histocompatibility studies including alloantibodies, epitope definition, and T cell alloreactivity • Studies of immunologic tolerance and pregnancy • T cell, B cell, NK and regulatory cell functions, particularly related to subjects within the journal's scope • Pharmacogenomics and vaccine development in the context of immune-related genesHuman Immunology considers immune-related genes to include those encoding classical and non-classical HLA, KIR, MIC, minor histocompatibility antigens (mHAg), immunoglobulins, TCR, BCR, proteins involved in antigen processing and presentation, complement, Fc receptors, chemokines and cytokines. Other immune-related genes may be considered.Human Immunology is also interested in bioinformatics of immune-related genes and organizational topics impacting laboratory processes, organ allocation, clinical strategies, and registries related to autoimmunity and transplantation.Original papers with new data will be given preference over uninvited reviews and meta- analyses.Original papers with new data will be given preference over uninvited reviews and meta- analyses. As the flagship scientific publication of the American Society for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (ASHI), Human Immunology is primarily directed to readers with an interest in histocompatibility, immunogenetics, transplantation, anthropology/population studies, HLA disease association and pharmacogenomics. These include basic and clinical scientists as well as histocompatibility laboratory professionals.
Immunity publishes papers that report the most important advances in immunology research. The range of subjects includes, but is not limited to, immune cell development and senescence, signal transduction, gene regulation, innate and adaptive immunity, autoimmunity, infectious disease, allergy and asthma, transplantation, and tumor immunology. We also encourage the submission of manuscripts that pertain to related areas of research but have broad implications for immune responses in all aspects of human and experimental animal biology.Visit the Cell Press website for more information about Immunity - http://www.cell.com/immunity/home
Published by Elsevier as the official journal of the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS), a member of the International Union of Immunological SocietiesImmunology Letters provides a vehicle for the speedy publication of experimental papers, (mini)Reviews and Letters to the Editor addressing all aspects of molecular, cellular, and clinical immunology. As the official journal of the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS), Immunology Letters supports international consortia of experts. The journal welcomes collaborative contributions dedicated to the state-of-the-art of immunology topics, as well as commentaries on those topics.Preference is given to papers of immediate importance to other investigators. Therefore, the essential criteria for publication are clarity, experimental soundness and novelty. Results contradictory to current accepted thinking or ideas divergent from actual dogmas are considered for publication provided they are based on solid experimental findings. Scientific correspondence to the Editor-in-Chief related to the published papers may also be accepted provided they are short and scientifically relevant to the papers mentioned, in order to provide a continuing forum for discussion.

Formerly Healthcare InfectionOfficial Journal of the Australasian College for Infection Prevention and Control (ACIPC)The journal is a global platform for the publication of original knowledge that fundamentally advances the prevention and control of infection affecting human populations. The Journal welcomes submissions that relate to infection prevention and control in any of the following settings:
hospitals and non-hospital healthcare settings, including community healthcare
aged care
child care
dentistry
correctional health
mental health
indigenous health and populations
industries providing services with implications for health e.g. cosmetic and personal appearanceindustries and settings
epidemiological studies related to an infection that has relevance to the healthcare environment or settings listed above.
specific laboratory-based studies that focus on infection prevention and control. Examples might include transmission-based studies (engineering models for transmission pathways, sink models for AMR pathogens and or transmission pathways) as well as microbiological studies on antiseptic/disinfectant efficacyIt is important to note that all submissions must contribute new knowledge or advance debate on a relevant topic. Papers must be of relevance to the readers of Infection, Disease and Health.
We accept a range of article types, including full research papers, short research reports, reviews, case reports, opinion pieces, correspondence and protocol papers. Please refer to the table in the “Author guidelines for information” about each article type, scope and various limits.
We consider the following topics out of scope:
treatment and/or management of infections (e.g. antimicrobial therapy for infection treatment) including the evaluation and efficacy of vaccines
surveillance or reporting of infections that are not acquired in or associated with settings described earlier
articles on vaccination with a scope relating to public or population health
antimicrobial stewardship articles related to specific clinical roles, e.g. nurse or pharmacist roles. These are better placed in discipline specific journals.
articles where the primary focus is not prevention and/or control of infection.
Final decisions on scope are made by the Editor-in-Chief.
