Journals in Immunological methodology

Autoimmunity Reviews

  • ISSN: 1568-9972
  • 5 Year impact factor: 9.3
  • Impact factor: 9.2
Autoimmunity Reviews will publish up-to-date, structured reviews on diverse topics in autoimmunity, written by first-class experts in the field. The articles will include demonstrative illustrations and tables and will all have a "take-home" message.Articles will principally be invited by the Editors-in-Chief upon the recommendations of the international Editorial Board, and will cover all fields of autoimmunology, bridging the gap between basic and clinical sciences. Contributions in basic sciences will include those on the pathophysiology and mechanisms of disorders as well as genomics and proteomics; clinical contributions will focus upon the diseases, novel therapies and clinical associations.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

  • 5 Year impact factor: 4.3
  • Impact factor: 4.3
Cell Reports Methods is an open access, multidisciplinary journal from Cell Press publishing significant methodological advances of broad interest. The primary criterion for publication in Cell Reports Methods is a robust, reproducible method that will spur scientific progress. We will also consider papers presenting a new tool or set of reagents that will be of significant utility and interest to the community. Cell Reports Methods publishes shorter, single-point stories, called Reports, in addition to a longer Article format. Areas of interest include innovations in sequencing and imaging technologies, genome editing, single-molecule approaches, computational methods, biotechnology, and synthetic biology.We are committed to open science and scientific reproducibility. To promote these goals, we offer the following to our authors, reviewers, and readers:Opportunity to co-publish bench-top protocols through collaboration with STAR ProtocolsApplication of the STAR Methods structure to ensure transparency and reproducibilityData and code required for reviewers at the time of submissionMandatory deposition of raw data at resubmissionVisit the Cell Press website for more information about Cell Reports Methods - http://www.cell.com/cell-reports-methods/home

Immunology Letters

  • ISSN: 0165-2478
  • 5 Year impact factor: 3.6
  • Impact factor: 3.3
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.

Journal of Immunological Methods

  • ISSN: 0022-1759
  • 5 Year impact factor: 1.9
  • Impact factor: 1.6
The Journal of Immunological Methods is devoted to covering techniques for:(1) Quantitating and detecting antibodies and/or antigens. (2) Purifying immunoglobulins, lymphokines and other molecules of the immune system. (3) Isolating antigens and other substances important in immunological processes. (4) Labelling antigens and antibodies. (5) Localizing antigens and/or antibodies in tissues and cells. (6) Detecting, and fractionating immunocompetent cells. (7) Assaying for cellular immunity. (8) Documenting cell-cell interactions. (9) Initiating immunity and unresponsiveness. (10) Transplanting tissues. (11) Studying items closely related to immunity such as complement, reticuloendothelial system and others. (12) Molecular techniques for studying immune cells and their receptors. (13) Imaging of the immune system. (14) Methods for production or their fragments in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. (15) Computational methods including statistical and mathematical methods and computational models for analysis, visualization, and interpretation of results.Submitted full length manuscripts should describe new methods of broad applicability to immunology and not simply the application of an established method - although papers describing such applications may be considered for publication as a short Technical Note. Review articles will also be published by the Journal of Immunological Methods, but these manuscripts are by invitation only.
