Aims & Scope

ImmunoTargets and Therapy is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal focusing on the immunological basis of diseases, potential targets for immune based therapy and treatment protocols employed to improve patient management. Basic immunology and physiology of the immune system in health, and disease will be also covered. In addition, the journal will focus on the impact of management programs and new therapeutic agents and protocols on patient perspectives such as quality of life, adherence and satisfaction. This journal explores the evidence behind new and existing therapies in terms of improving outcomes and, importantly, will seek to define their usage in terms of ultimate uptake and acceptance by the patient and health care professional. As of 1st April 2019, ImmunoTargets and Therapy will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
