Impact factor: 4.2

BBA Molecular Basis of Disease addresses the biochemistry and molecular genetics of disease processes and models of human disease.Manuscripts should emphasize the underlying molecular mechanisms of human disease pathways and provide significant advances to the understanding and/or treatment of these disorders.Studies in model organisms or systems are strongly recommended in order to validate mechanistic insights. Topics of interest include, but are not limited toAgingCancerCardiovascular diseasesCell death–related diseasesGenetic diseasesGenetic and epigenetic regulation in diseasesImmunological diseasesInflammatory diseasesMetabolic diseasesMitochondrial diseasesMuscular diseasesNeurological diseasesThe non-preferred topics for BBADIS includeNon-coding RNAsResearch on non-coding RNAs (microRNAs, lncRNAs, circRNAs, etc.) will be considered only if it provides significantly novel insights into disease mechanisms.Single Cell Line StudiesStudies involving single cell lines will be considered only if they present significantly novel findings.Computational (in Silico) StudiesPurely computational works (e.g., Mendelian randomization, molecular docking, molecular dynamics) will generally be declined unless they provide novel insights into disease mechanisms.Disease BiomarkersResearch on disease biomarkers will be considered only if it relates to the explanation of disease mechanisms.Descriptive or Correlative StudiesDescriptive or correlative studies (e.g., up/down regulation of gene products, -omics studies without follow-up experiments) will be declined unless they provide mechanistic insights.Natural Products and Traditional MedicineWork on natural products, extracts, and traditional medicine will be considered only if single biochemical components are characterized and tested.Clinical Studies and Case ReportsClinical studies or case reports without mechanistic insights are outside the scope of the journal.Hypothesis ArticlesSubmissions based solely on hypotheses will not be considered.Comparative Genomics StudiesComparative genomics studies (e.g., GWAS) will only be considered if they provide specific insights into the structural and/or functional properties of individual genes.Incremental WorkResearch that offers incremental advancements without significant novelty or impact will generally be declined.

Immunobiology is a broad-scope and inclusive Gold Open Access journal dedicated to publishing innovative research across a wide range of immunological subjects. Immunobiology aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of immunology by bridging the gap between scientists and clinicians.The journal publishes topics including:Innate and Adaptive Immunity Molecular Mechanisms, Including Normal and Pathological Functions of the Immune Response, Immune Cell Biology, Cytokines, and Soluble Mediators. Complement Biology, Pathology, and Therapeutics. Microbial Immunology and Immunopathology of Infectious Diseases (Bacterial, Viral and Parasitic) Cancer Immunology Neuroimmunology Immunogenetics Immunopathology of allergic and autoimmune diseases Vaccines and Immunotherapeutics Clinical Immunology Immunobiology does not accept submissions consisting mainly of (a) bioinformatics or computational analysis of public genomic or transcriptomic databases and (b) testing and evaluation of previously uncharacterized natural product-based drug candidates. Immunobiology does not accept reviews that are not by invitation.Founded in 1909 as the first-ever specialist immunology journal, Immunobiology has a rich history of contributing to the field. It aims to become the most inclusive journal for the dissemination of rigorous immunological research, supporting the global scientific community in advancing the field.

International Journal for Parasitology

ISSN: 0020-7519
5 Year impact factor: 3.5
Impact factor: 3.7

Sponsored by the Australian Society for ParasitologyThe International Journal for Parasitology publishes the results of original research in all aspects of basic and applied parasitology, including all the fields covered by its Specialist Editors, and ranging from parasites and host-parasite relationships of intrinsic biological interest to those of social and economic importance in human and veterinary medicine and agriculture. Original research includes the development of novel and innovative concepts and ideas, as well as experimental and observational science that raises new hypotheses.We do not publish new genome sequences and assemblies alone without new and significant insight into the biology of the parasite, the parasite-host relationship or mechanisms of pathogenesis. Because of its breadth of discipline coverage, the aims and significance of all contributions should be made clear to readers who are not expert in the particular subject of papers. In applied parasitology, it will tend to favour contributions of broader significance to the subject rather than narrow, highly specialised applications. The principal form of publication is the full length paper which contains substantial results from a major program of research. The Journal also provides a medium for the publication of shorter, but complete, papers reporting highly significant original findings, as Succinctus articles. It also publishes Thematic Issues incorporating papers on a topical theme and commissions papers with emphasis on shorter, focussed Reviews of topical issues and strategically important subjects. The Journal encourages critical comment and debate on matters of current controversy in parasitology via "Current Opinions".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. Please click here for more information on our author services .Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission. If you require any further information or help, please visit our Support CenterThe International Journal for Parasitology has also launched two specialist, open access titles you are welcome to submit to:International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeInternational Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance
