Regular submissions are accepted throughout the year.
What the journal is looking for
Work the editors are glad to see
The journal's subject runs from the bench to the population. Research at any point along it is welcome on its own terms.
01
Vaccine science and development
Antigen and platform design, adjuvants, formulation and stability, immune response and correlates of protection, and the development of new and improved immunizing agents.
02
Evaluation and safety
Immunogenicity, efficacy and effectiveness studies, schedule and dose questions, duration of protection, safety research and post-licensure surveillance.
03
Programs, delivery and access
Routine and campaign immunization, supply and cold chain, workforce, registries, financing, and the access conditions that decide who an offer reaches.
04
Confidence, uptake and policy
Coverage and timeliness, acceptance and demand, communication and community engagement, program evaluation, and the recommendations those findings inform.
Work from any population and any setting is in scope, including research carried out where immunization systems are under the most pressure. The Aims and Scope page states the boundary in full.
Accepted manuscript types
Article types
The journal welcomes these manuscript types across its immunization remit.
01
Original Research
Original findings that address a substantive immunization question.
02
Review Articles
Evidence syntheses relevant to immunization.
03
Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
Systematic evidence syntheses, with meta-analysis where appropriate.
04
Implementation and Program Evaluation Studies
Studies of immunization delivery, implementation or program outcomes.
05
Vaccine Safety and Surveillance Reports
Findings from vaccine-safety research or surveillance.
06
Methods, Protocols and Data Resources
Methods, protocols or data resources for immunization research.
07
Short Communications
Focused reports of immunization findings.
08
Policy and Practice Analyses
Analyses of immunization policy or practice.
09
Case Reports of Immunization Safety Events
Novel, rigorously documented events with clear immunization relevance; temporal association alone is insufficient.
Editorials, Commentaries and Letters are considered by invitation.
How a submission is handled
What to expect
The same process applies to every manuscript, whenever it arrives.
Submission routes
Three ways to reach the editorial office
All three reach the same assessment.
Submission routes
- Primary route: ManuscriptZonehttps://oap.manuscriptzone.net/
- Alternative route: Simple manuscript submission formopenaccesspub.org/manuscript-submission-form?journal=ji
- Assisted route: Editorial email[email protected]
Authors must use only one submission route for the same manuscript.
Before you submit
Preparing the manuscript
The author instructions set out what to prepare and what must be declared; the special-issue page describes how to propose a focused collection.
