Immune Network, the official journal of the Korean Association of Immunologists (KAI), has been selected for Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). SCIE is a preeminent citation index that covers the world's top tier international and regional journals with a competitive selection process for inclusion. Selection for SCIE will enhance the visibility and discoverability of articles published in Immune Network.
Immune Network is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal whose purpose is to provide a medium through which researchers in various fields of immunology can share and connect. It was launched in 2001 through the merger of Korean Journal of Immunology and Korean Journal of Biological Response Modifiers. Immune Network publishes reviews, original articles, brief communications, and case reports. Beginning with the first issue of volume 15, 2015, Immune Network articles will be indexed and abstracted in SCIE (also known as SciSearch), Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, Biological Abstracts, and BIOSIS Previews.
Selection for SCIE represents a major milestone in Immune Network's path towards greater international recognition. The first step came with Immune Network's inclusion in PubMed Central and PubMed in January 2010. Immune Network was furthermore accepted in August 2016 for inclusion in Scopus, a globally renowned academic database. I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude and congratulations to the deputy editors, associate editors, executive editors, and leaders of KAI for the contribution and ongoing efforts to improve Immune Network. I look forward to witnessing further advances in the journal's development in the coming years.
The editorial team will continue its endeavors to make Immune Network a world-class journal that plays a significant role in advancing immunology research and assisting in the management of immune disorders.
