Clinical and Experimental Immunology

Clinical & Experimental Immunology has published research at the cutting edge of translational and clinical immunology since 1966. We are interested in studies that have the potential to transform our understanding of the immunopathology of human disease and/or change clinical practice. The journal is among the foremost journals in the field of translational and clinical immunology, attracting high-quality papers from across the world. Translation is viewed as a process of applying ideas, insights and discoveries generated through scientific studies to the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of human disease. Clinical immunology has evolved as a field to encompass the application of state-of-the-art technologies such as next-generation sequencing, metagenomics and high-dimensional phenotyping to understand the mechanisms that govern the outcomes of clinical trials. Journal articles are received by our dedicated Section Editors and cover basic and clinical investigations into the immunological basis of a wide range of human pathologies including autoimmunity, inflammatory diseases, primary and secondary immunodeficiencies, complement disorders, allergies, infectious diseases, cancer and transplantation rejection. Research that offers mechanistic insight is particularly encouraged. Studies that inform clinical practice and those that represent position papers on the classification, diagnosis or treatment of immunological disease are also welcomed. Any paper which does not fit into one of the sections described below will be assessed by our Editor-in-Chief. All papers with high relevance to translational immunology are welcome. Clinical & Experimental Immunology is part of the British Society for Immunology family of journals, including our sibling journal Immunotherapy Advances.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
