Immunological Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal publishing high-quality original research in clinical immunology. Immunological Medicine is the Official Journal of the Japanese Society of Clinical Immunology (JSCI).

Recent progress in the field of clinical immunology has been remarkable. Many diseases and conditions, including autoimmune diseases, allergy-related diseases, infectious diseases, malignant diseases, immunodeficiency and transplantation-related conditions are associated with immunological abnormalities and require immunological approaches from various medical fields.

Clinical immunology plays an increasingly important role as the bridge between basic research and clinical practice, with the significance of translational research rapidly increasing in recent years. Considering such developments, the society aims to publish an international and interdisciplinary journal for dissemination to a global audience.

Immunological Medicine focuses on many diseases and conditions associated with immunological abnormalities that require immunological approaches from various medical fields, including:

• Autoimmune diseases
• Allergy-related diseases
• Infectious diseases
• Malignant diseases
• Immunodeficiency and transplantation-related conditions

Immunological Medicine encourages the submission of original manuscripts covering a wide range of topics such as rheumatology, allergology, oncology, hematology, cardiology, neurology, respiratory medicine, gastroenterology, nephrology, dermatology, pediatrics and other medical topics that relate to both basic and clinical immunology.

Immunological Medicine publishes original articles, review articles, case reports, and rapid communications article types.

All submitted manuscripts, including invited review articles, are subject to single-blind peer-review by at least two independent, anonymous referees. To facilitate the peer-review process and subsequent publication of articles, the journal has a Transmitting Editor system in place. Transmitting Editors are responsible for the nomination of reviewers and for making the first decision of ‘accept’, ‘revision required’ or ‘reject’ on submitted manuscripts.
