With an impact factor of 32.7, Nature Reviews Immunology [ISSN 1474-1733] is the leading monthly review title for immunology. Immunology is a diverse and growing discipline that can be defined as the study of the tissues, cells and molecules involved in host defence mechanisms, how the body defends itself against disease, and what happens when it all goes wrong. Nature Reviews Immunology provides in-depth coverage of this field, from fundamental mechanisms to translational aspects of basic research, and reviews the field's most important developments.
The journal publishes review and perspective articles written by leaders in the field. These are then subject to rigorous peer review and careful developmental and copy editing to provide high-quality and authoritative coverage of the field. Each issue also contains Research Highlight articles - short summaries written by the editors that describe recent hot research papers.
