Antiviral Research
Antiviral Research aims to publish manuscripts in the field of prevention and treatment of viral diseases in humans and vertebrate animals, and encourages authors to the submit manuscripts describing the activity of well-defined chemical compounds for the treatment of viral diseases. The journal is an Official Publication of the International Society for Antiviral Research. The types of papers published in Antiviral Research includes original research reports, short communications, commentaries and invited review* articles on the control of viral infections in humans. The journal’s scope encompasses:antivira... drugs, antibodies and host-response modifiers, including their synthesis, in vitro and in vivo testing and mechanisms of action.identificatio... and validation of new drug targets;laboratory animal models of viral diseases for antiviral efficacy testing;evolution of drug-resistant viruses and the development of effective counter measures;pathogenesi... of viral diseases and mechanisms of viral evasion of host immune responses;assessment... of drug safety;new or improved vaccines against viral infections of humans; the prevention and treatment of viral diseases of vertebrate animals, and reports of the testing of veterinary vaccines in the target animal species. All papers must include a sufficiently detailed description of methods to permit other investigators to replicate the experiments. Authors reporting the antiviral effect of a novel small-molecule drug must reveal its chemical structure. Claims of in vitro or in vivo efficacy of a drug or vaccine must be supported by appropriate statistical analysis that must be clearly described in the manuscript.Antiviral Research journal does not publish reports on viral diseases of plants or of insects, crustaceans or other invertebrates. Studies of viral diseases of livestock and companion animals must be clearly related to the development of realistic therapies. Papers on veterinary vaccines should report findings in the target animal species.We discourage the submission of manuscripts reporting the antiviral activity of unpurified natural products, or of partially purified substances of natural origin for which a mechanism of action has not been determined. Manuscripts claiming an antiviral effect of homeopathic products or other highly diluted preparations, or which fail to clearly identify the biological ingredient or molecule responsible for the antiviral activity of an experimental therapy, will not be considered for publication. Articles describing antiseptics with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity will not be accepted. We discourage the submission of in silico docking studies or other computer-based predictions of antiviral activity that are not supported by data from biological assays. Citations of reports that have not undergone peer review must include the note "[not peer-reviewed]."ISAR members Authors who are ISAR members are encouraged to contact ISAR after their paper has been accepted for publication in order to benefit from their published work being highlighted in ISAR postings on their social media platforms (further details on this will be given in the AVR acceptance letter). *Antiviral Research journal has started a new initiative to publish at least two thematic special issues per year, containing invited reviews in addition to the ad hoc invitations to experts in the areas within the scope of the journal.- ISSN: 0166-3542

Molecular Immunology
Molecular Immunology publishes original articles, reviews and commentaries on all areas of immunology, with a particular focus on description of cellular, biochemical or genetic mechanisms underlying immunological phenomena. Studies on all model organisms, from invertebrates to humans, are suitable. Examples include, but are not restricted to:Infection, autoimmunity, transplantation, immunodeficiencies, inflammation and tumor immunologyMechanisms of induction, regulation and termination of innate and adaptive immunityIntercellula... communication, cooperation and regulationIntracellu... mechanisms of immunity (endocytosis, protein trafficking, pathogen recognition, antigen presentation, etc)Mechanisms of action of the cells and molecules of the immune systemStructural analysisDevelopment of the immune systemComparative immunology and evolution of the immune system"Omics" studies and bioinformaticsVaccin... biotechnology and therapeutic manipulation of the immune system (therapeutic antibodies, cytokines, cellular therapies, etc)Technical developmentsArticles based primarily on studies in silico must adhere to the following principles; (i) The article must report novel analytical tools, approaches and/or databases rather than using publicly available ones; or (ii) The article must include substantial experimental validation of the conclusions obtained in silico.Manuscripts related to regulatory RNA (e.g. microRNAs, lncRNAs or circRNAs) are welcome but please note: (i) they must show clear physiological relevance supported by in vivo results or clinical observations; (ii) Correlations between regulatory RNA expression with human diseases should be experimentally validated; (iii) Functions associated with the regulatory RNAs must within the scope of the journal i.e. inflammation and/or immune responses.To be acceptable for publication, studies that describe correlations between disease and genetic polymorphisms would normally be required to include novel mechanistic findings underlying the associations.Clinica... studies correlating disease and measurements of a molecule or cell type would likewise not be suitable for publication without novel mechanistic insights.Studies describing pharmacological agents are welcome if they provide significant novelty on the mechanisms of action.- ISSN: 0161-5890
Experimental Parasitology
The main focus of Experimental Parasitology is experimental approaches to investigating different aspects of parasitology, including, but not limited to, those encompassed by molecular tools, cell biology, and immunology. The journal predominantly publishes Original Research Papers in which experimentation is used to investigate the physiological, metabolic, immunological, biochemical, nutritional, and chemotherapeutic aspects of parasites and host-parasite relationships. In addition, the journal welcomes Method Papers that describe new approaches to such investigations and Review Articles (short reviews, full reviews, and systematic reviews) that provide critical evaluation of published articles on a theme within the scope of the journal. Furthermore, the journal is open to publishing special issues or meeting reports within the themes of the journal. Please contact the editors for further information. See our Guide for Authors for further information on the different paper types accepted by Experimental Parasitology.- ISSN: 0014-4894
