We’re delighted to present Discovery Immunology, our fully Open Access journal for new discoveries in cellular and molecular immunology. The journal is edited by Professor Simon Milling from the University of Glasgow. Read on to find out more about the journal’s scope, mission and world-leading editorial team.
Scope and mission
Discovery Immunology is our first broad-scope Open Access journal aiming to publish high-quality articles describing novel mechanisms controlling the immune response. While these will often describe basic aspects of cellular or molecular immunology, we also welcome articles describing discovery science with relevance to infection biology, inflammation or immune-mediated pathogenesis. Our aim is for Discovery Immunology to become an invaluable resource to the immunology community, providing readers with trusted new insights into the workings of the immune system.
Meet the editorial team
Discovery Immunology is led by Founding Editor-in-Chief Professor Simon Milling with the support of a prestigious team of Senior Editors and a growing Editorial Board from academia and industry.

The BSI family of journals
Discovery Immunology is the latest addition to the BSI family of journals published in partnership with Oxford University Press and is supported by the in-house publishing team at the BSI, dedicated to delivering excellent author service. Our new launch joins Clinical & Experimental Immunology, our established journal founded in 1966, and Immunotherapy Advances, our first fully Open Access journal launched in 2020. In launching our latest Open Access journal, we’re ensuring that the BSI publishing portfolio extends across the full spectrum of immunology research to offer a home for papers from the widest range of immunologists, while strengthening our platform to foster innovation for the benefit of society.
The scopes of the three BSI journals have been developed through close and collaborative communication between their Editors-in-Chief to offer a home for papers from the widest range of immunologists, from those performing fundamental basic research, through more translational work, to studies of potential therapeutics and human clinical trials.
