Mucosal Immunology launching in January
The Society for Mucosal Immunology (SMI) and Nature Publishing Group (NPG) are very pleased to announce a new publishing partnership. In January 2008, NPG and SMI will launch a new publication, Mucosal Immunology. Mucosal Immunology is now accepting submissions of papers discussing all aspects of immunity and inflammation involving mucosal tissues. The guide to authors is here and you can submit here.
Mucosal Immunology is the official publication of the SMI. It will provide a forum for both basic and clinical scientists to discuss all aspects of immunity and inflammation involving mucosal tissues. The journal reflects the interests of scientists studying gastrointestinal, pulmonary, nasopharyngeal, oral, ocular and genitourinary immunology through the publication of original research articles, scholarly reviews and timely commentaries, editorials and letters. Publication of basic, translational and clinical studies will all be given equal consideration. In addition, Mucosal Immunology aims to provide a primary method of communication for the SMI governing board and its members through the publication of society news, announcements of planned meetings and conferences, discussions of policy concerns, and advertisements for job and training opportunities.
The Editor-in-Chief is Brian Kelsall, MD, of the NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
