Overview

The Journal of Immunology is a prestigious biweekly peer-reviewed medical journal that has been at the forefront of immunology research since its establishment in 1916. As the official journal of the American Association of Immunologists, it publishes a wide range of basic and clinical studies in all aspects of immunology, including infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and cancer. With a rich history spanning over a century, the journal has undergone several name changes, including a brief stint as the Journal of Immunology, Virus Research and Experimental Chemotherapy from 1943 to 1949. Today, under the editorship of Gail A. Bishop, the Journal of Immunology continues to be a leading platform for immunologists to share their research and advance our understanding of the immune system. The journal's impact is evident in its high citation rate, with over 100,000 citations in 2020 alone, and its influence on the development of new treatments and therapies for immunological disorders. With a strong focus on interdisciplinary research, the Journal of Immunology collaborates with other prominent journals, such as [[nature|Nature]] and [[science|Science]], to promote a deeper understanding of the complex interactions between the immune system and other bodily systems.
