Aim & Scope
The Journal of Infectious Diseases and Viruses Research (ISSN: 3065-758X) is established with a focused vision to serve as a comprehensive and scholarly platform for the publication of high-quality, peer-reviewed research related to the study of infectious diseases, viral pathogens, and associated public health interventions. With the continued emergence and re-emergence of infectious threats, both known and novel, there is a heightened global demand for reliable, data-driven, and timely scientific discourse. This journal aims to meet that demand by supporting research that is not only scientifically rigorous but also relevant to real-world clinical and epidemiological applications.
We recognise the rapidly evolving landscape of infectious diseases, which encompasses complex interactions between pathogens, hosts, environments, and public health systems. Our scope is inclusive, welcoming a wide variety of research contributions that advance understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infectious conditions that impact human health globally.
Broad Research Coverage
The journal encourages submissions in areas that include, but are not limited to:
- Virology and Viral Diseases: Research exploring viral structure, replication, evolution, and mechanisms of disease. Submissions may address single-virus studies or broader comparative analyses across viral families.
- Bacterial, Fungal, and Parasitic Infections: Although viral research is a core area of interest, the journal also accommodates research focused on non-viral infectious agents, especially those causing epidemics or exhibiting antimicrobial resistance.
- Pathogenesis and Host-Pathogen Interaction: Studies examining how pathogens invade, survive, and proliferate within hosts. This includes investigations into immune evasion, inflammation, cellular signaling, and host genetic susceptibility.
- Clinical Case Studies and Case Series: Carefully documented cases that highlight novel disease presentations, rare pathogens, treatment challenges, or emerging drug resistance profiles.
- Vaccinology and Immunoprophylaxis: Submissions focused on vaccine development, testing, and implementation. Articles may include preclinical studies, clinical trials, and post-marketing surveillance data.
- Epidemiology and Public Health: Analyses of disease incidence, prevalence, distribution, and trends in populations. The journal welcomes epidemiological modeling, surveillance data, and assessments of health interventions or policies.
- Diagnostics and Laboratory Innovations: Contributions that advance the accuracy, speed, affordability, or scalability of diagnostic tools used in clinical or field settings.
- Antimicrobial and Antiviral Therapies: Research addressing pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for infectious diseases, including trials of new agents or repurposed drugs.
- Outbreak Response and Global Health Preparedness: Submissions describing real-time investigations or evaluations of public health responses to outbreaks, particularly those involving novel pathogens.
- Zoonoses and Vector-Borne Diseases: Studies of diseases transmitted from animals to humans, or via vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks. This area includes surveillance reports, ecological studies, and intervention assessments.
Global and Interdisciplinary Perspective
The journal welcomes research from all geographical regions and is particularly supportive of work emerging from low- and middle-income countries, where infectious disease burdens are often disproportionately high. We promote diversity in both research focus and author representation.
Interdisciplinary submissions that bridge laboratory science, clinical medicine, public health, and policy-making are strongly encouraged. The journal provides space for collaborative approaches that combine biology, epidemiology, environmental science, data modeling, and social sciences to deliver a holistic understanding of infectious disease dynamics.
Emphasis on Relevance and Impact
Our mission is to ensure that published research does not exist in isolation but contributes meaningfully to ongoing public health efforts and scientific advancement. Each accepted article must demonstrate clear relevance to infectious disease prevention, management, or understanding.
Authors are encouraged to clearly outline the practical implications of their findings and how their research may inform clinical guidelines, public health interventions, or future research directions.
Supported Article Types
To serve our audience’s diverse needs, the Journal of Infectious Diseases and Viruses Research accepts the following categories of submissions:
- Original Research Articles
- Comprehensive Review Papers
- Clinical Case Reports
- Short Communications
- Technical Notes
- Commentaries and Editorials
We provide a balanced platform for both early-career scientists and established researchers to share their work with a global audience. Every submission undergoes a fair and rigorous double-blind peer-review process managed by an expert editorial team.
