History

During the 1982 Midwinter Conference of Immunologists at the Asilomar Conference Grounds, a meeting of prominent immunologists was convened to discuss the need for a new journal that published review articles about immunological topics. Interest was high, with many meeting attendees agreeing that such a journal would be useful and offering to write a review for the first volume.[2] The Annual Review of Immunology was first published in 1983, making it the twenty-fifth journal title published by the nonprofit publisher Annual Reviews.[3] As of 2021, it is published both online and in print. Some of its articles are available online prior to the volume publication date.[4]

Scope and indexing

The Annual Review of Immunology defines its scope as covering significant developmments in immunology, including processes of the immune system, etiology of immune disorders, the innate and adaptive immune systems, the production and differentiation of immune cells, control of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens. Also of interest is immune control of cancer, immunodeficiency, and autoimmune diseases.[5] As of 2019, Journal Citation Reports lists the journal's impact factor as 19.900, ranking it fourth of 158 journals in the category "Immunology".[1] It is abstracted and indexed in Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Chemical Abstracts Core, and Academic Search, among others.[6]

Editorial processes

The Annual Review of Immunology is helmed by the editor or the co-editors. The editor is assisted by the editorial committee, which includes associate editors, regular members, and occasionally guest editors. Guest members participate at the invitation of the editor, and serve terms of one year. All other members of the editorial committee are appointed by the Annual Reviews board of directors and serve five-year terms. The editorial committee determines which topics should be included in each volume and solicits reviews from qualified authors.[7] Unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted. Peer review of accepted manuscripts is undertaken by the editorial committee.[8]
