Vaccines (ISSN 2076-393X) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal focused on laboratory and clinical vaccine research, utilization and immunization. Vaccines publishes high quality reviews, regular research papers, communications and case reports. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in open access form in as much detail as possible. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.

There are, in addition, unique features of this journal:

• manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed
• computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material
• we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects financed with public funds
