Immunology and Clinical & Experimental Immunology both rank highly in the immunology field, and have rising impact factors (IFs).
The latest impact factors were released in June 2020, when Immunology reached an IF of 5.016 and Clinical & Experimental Immunology achieved an IF of 3.532.
Whilst we are aware that the impact factor has certain limitations, we take this as one measure of the high quality work submitted by our authors, contributing highly cited reviews and research, which we have highlighted here.
We are continuing to achieve our goal of publishing content which is timely and relevant to our research community, as demonstrated by the high Altmetric scores and downloads of our articles.
