Journal of Clinical Virology is an international journal and is the Official journal of the Pan American Society for Clinical Virology and The European Society for Clinical Virology.Journal of Clinical Virology aims to publish papers and reviews on the clinical aspects of human virology. It publishes articles on diagnostical methods and virus-induced clinical conditions. The manuscripts should be clinically practical and relevant.Submissions on new technologies for viral diagnosis and monitoring are particularly welcomed.The journal publishes on topics that include:• new diagnostic technologies • nucleic acid amplification and serologic testing • targeted and metagenomic next-generation sequencing • emerging pandemic viral threats • respiratory viruses • transplant viruses • chronic viral infections • cancer-associated viruses • gastrointestinal viruses • central nervous system viruses • one health (excludes animal health)Journal of Clinical Virology does not accept submissions on single cases or case series. Please submit manuscripts of this type to IDcases. Journal of Clinical Virology also does not accept submissions on fundamental virology. Please submit manuscripts of this type to Virology.
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.
Covering methodology and basic scienceThe Journal of Virological Methods focuses on original, high quality research papers that describe novel and comprehensively tested methods which enhance human, animal, plant, bacterial or environmental virology and prions research and discovery.The methods may include, but not limited to, the study of:Viral components and morphologyVirus isolation, propagation and development of viral vectorsViral pathogenesis, oncogenesis, vaccines and antiviralsVirus replication, host-pathogen interactions and responsesVirus transmission, prevention, control and treatmentViral metagenomics and viromeVirus ecology, adaption and evolutionApplied virology such as nanotechnologyViral diagnosis with novelty and comprehensive evaluationWe seek articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and laboratory protocols that include comprehensive technical details with statistical confirmations that provide validations against current best practice, international standards or quality assurance programs and which advance knowledge in virology leading to improved medical, veterinary or agricultural practices and management.
Virologica Sinica is an international journal which aims at presenting the cutting-edge research on viruses all over the world. The journal publishes peer-reviewed original research articles, reviews, and letters to the editor, to encompass the latest developments in all branches of virology, including research on animal, plant and microbe viruses. The journal welcomes articles on virus discovery and characterization, viral epidemiology, viral pathogenesis, virus-host interaction, vaccine development, antiviral agents and therapies, and virus related bio-techniques. Virologica Sinica, the official journal of Chinese Society for Microbiology, will serve as a platform for the communication and exchange of academic information and ideas in an international context.Virologica Sinica was published with SpringerNature from 2007 to 2021. The full text contents of archive issues can be freely accessed through PubMed Central (available at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/journals/3534).Editorial Board
Virology Reports is discontinued as of June 2017. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the authors, referees, and editors who contributed to the journal. Published papers will remain available on ScienceDirect. Interested authors are invited to submit their research to Virology. Another option is Heliyon, an open access journal from Elsevier publishing quality research across all disciplines. For more information, please visit http://www.heliyon.com/about. Virology Reports was a peer-reviewed open access journal that welcomed short reports and research articles on research in virology, from molecular virology to virus ecology, evolution and phylogenetics, including novel virus full sequences (draft genomes with >50% coverage were also considered), virome shot-gun data when appropriate (e.g., from unique environments), discovery of drug targets, and manuscripts that describe novel methods and reagents. We offered authors a home for their short communication or full-length article. Our aim was to provide a platform for the virology community to publish results independently of novelty and impact, including when novel virus sequences were discovered but of which the importance for plant, animal and public health was not yet elucidated.
