Guide for Authors
Aims and scope
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.
In addition the journal will publish articles on novel methods for analysing the organization, structure and expression of genes for immunologically important molecules such as immunoglobulins, T cell receptors and accessory molecules involved in antigen recognition, processing and presentation. Submitted full length manuscripts should describe new methods of broad applicability to immunology and not simply the application of an established method to a particular substance - 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. In general these manuscripts are by solicitation however anyone interested in submitting a review can contact the Reviews Editor and provide an outline of the proposed review.
A Computational Methods Section reflects the increasingly central role of sophisticated statistical and mathematical methods and computational models in the analysis, visualization, interpretation of the results of techniques and investigations within the general scope of the Journal.
These methods can generally be divided into data-driven Immunomics methods involving high throughput assays or model-driven methods that provide a framework for data analysis, visualization, and interpretation. Descriptions of high-quality immunological databases are also of interest.
This Section will publish papers that present important advances to current practice or new "gold standards" for mathematical and computational methods and analyses in the field of immunology. Areas of interest reflect the general areas of interest of the Journal, particularly novel methods for analyzing the organization, structure and expression of genes and proteins of immunologically important molecules such as immunoglobulins, T cell receptors, and various accessory molecules involved in antigen recognition, processing, and presentation, and inflammation.
Journal of Immunological Methods is the Official Journal of the Association of Medical Laboratory Immunologists.
Types of paper
Research reports, full-length articles describing original work;
Review-type articles (see below) on methods, including their development, applicability and present status; these are usually invited by the Editor-in-Chief, but interested authors may contact him directly to discuss ideas or present an outline;
• There are 2 types of reviews published by JIM. The Editor-in-Chief will determine suitability and suggest the appropriate format (either a Short Analytical Review or a Full Review Format as detailed below). Reviews may encompass clinical, applied and basic research in immunology from academia, industry and clinical operations in humans and animals.
• 1. Short Analytical Reviews (SARs)
Usually not greater than 15 double spaced pages (exclusive of references) with up to 4 figures/tables and less than 40 references. These SARs should be quite specific and critical regarding a specific methodological concern, and not an attempt to provide a comprehensive treatise on the subject matter. They could include. For example, a: review of a new technique/technology, a new analysis method (e.g. statistical or software application), validation/evaluations, clinical trial outcomes of new biologics, new animal models. etc.
• 2. Full Reviews
Full reviews will cover a particular issue in depth with a comprehensive review of the literature. Manuscripts can be any length but are not to exceed 40 double spaced pages (exclusive of references). The liberal use of Figures is strongly encouraged. There is no limit on the number of references. It is expected that a full-length review will provide an up to date, comprehensive treatise on the subject matter with detailed citations to direct readers to the appropriate original work.
Technical notes (short communications and application notes, being 4 pages of type plus up to 10 references and 2-3 display items);
Letters to the editors - in order to expedite publication of the letters no proofs will be sent to the authors;
Computational Methods articles - articles dealing with the uses of computers and modelling techniques in facilitating immunological research, and appropriate for on-line publication.
Book reviews, News and Announcements are welcomed.
Submission checklist
You can use this list to carry out a final check of your submission before you send it to the journal for review. Please check the relevant section in this Guide for Authors for more details.
Ensure that the following items are present:
