Journals in Microbiology and virology
Elsevier's Microbiology & Virology collection provides comprehensive coverage of viruses and microorganisms, addressing their impact on human, animal, and plant health. It includes topics such as prevention, treatment, and research of viral diseases like coronaviruses, flaviviruses, and viral hemorrhagic fevers. The collection delves into fields like Bacteriology, Mycology, and Microbial genetics, focusing on their roles in environmental, agricultural, and health-related contexts. This resource serves as a vital tool for scientists, facilitating the study of viruses and microorganisms and enabling the development of effective strategies for infectious disease prevention, diagnosis, and control.

Veterinary Microbiology
Veterinary Microbiology is concerned with bacterial and viral diseases of domesticated vertebrate animals (livestock, companion animals, fur-bearing animals, game, poultry, but excluding fish) that supply food, other useful products or companionship. In addition, Microbial diseases of wild animals living in captivity, or as members of the feral fauna will also be considered if the infections are of interest because of their interrelation with humans (zoonoses) and/or domestic animals. Studies of antimicrobial resistance are also included, provided that the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge. Authors are strongly encouraged to read - prior to submission - the Editorials ('Scope or cope' and 'Scope or cope II') published previously in the journal. The Editors reserve the right to suggest submission to another journal for those papers which they feel would be more appropriate for consideration by that journal.Original research papers of high quality and novelty on aspects of control, host response, molecular biology, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of microbial diseases of animals are published. Papers dealing primarily with immunology, epidemiology, molecular biology and antiviral or microbial agents will only be considered if they demonstrate a clear impact on a disease. Papers focusing solely on diagnostic techniques (such as another PCR protocol or ELISA) will not be published - focus should be on a microorganism and not on a particular technique. Papers only reporting microbial sequences, metagenomics data, transcriptomics data, or proteomics data will not be considered unless the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge related to microbial disease.Drug trial papers will be considered if they have general application or significance. Papers on the identification of microorganisms will also be considered, but detailed taxonomic studies do not fall within the scope of the journal. Case reports will not be published, unless they have general application or contain novel aspects. Papers of geographically limited interest, which repeat what had been established elsewhere will not be considered. The readership of the journal is global.Papers will be rejected if standards of care of, or procedures performed on animals are not up to those expected of humane veterinary scientists. At a minimum, standards must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research involving Animals, as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences.

Virology
An Affiliated Journal of the World Society for Virology Launched in 1955, Virology is a broad and inclusive journal that welcomes submissions on all aspects of virology including plant, animal, microbial and human viruses. The journal publishes basic research as well as pre-clinical and clinical studies of vaccines, anti-viral drugs and their development, anti-viral therapies, and computational studies of virus infections. Any submission that is of broad interest to the community of virologists/vaccinol... and reporting scientifically accurate and valuable research will be considered for publication, including negative findings and multidisciplinary work. Virology is open to reviews, research manuscripts, short communication, registered reports as well as follow-up manuscripts.For more information on article types, please visit our guide for authors: https://www.elsevier... Virology offers guaranteed peer review of Follow-Up as well as Research Articles, provided the Corresponding Author is the same and the new manuscript is submitted within 24 months of the previous paper getting accepted.

Virus Research
Virus Research published its first issue in 1984 and celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2024! It is a broad-scope and inclusive journal which provides a means for fast publication of original research papers in the field of virology. We deal with viroids and all kinds of viruses, whether they infect bacteria, fungi, plants, animals or humans, and all aspects of virology, from molecular virology to structural biology, from pathogenesis to virus evolution, from theoretical drug development to drug-resistance, from host restriction factors to the interaction with the immune system, but also clinical and epidemiological virology papers may be submitted to Virus Research. The journal also publishes review articles on topics of current interest, special issues focused on a defined subject, and occasional book reviews, editorials and meeting reports. These articles should be composed by experts in the field and provide a critical review of the field or a novel perspective.
