About the Journal of Immunology and Geriatrics
The Journal of Immunology and Geriatrics (JIG) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal of basic, experimental, translational and clinical research on immunology and aging.
Purpose and readership
Immunity across the lifespan
JIG serves immunologists, geriatricians, clinical investigators and other researchers who study how the immune system changes with age and how those changes affect health and disease in older adults.
JIG publishes work that spans the range from cellular and molecular mechanisms to translational and clinical studies. It considers basic, experimental, translational and clinical research on immunology and aging, including immune-mediated disease, infection and vaccination, cancer and transplantation in older adults.
Its aims are to publish methodologically sound research that advances understanding of immune aging, to connect laboratory findings with the care of older adults, and to make the results freely available to everyone who can use them.
The journal welcomes contributions from immunology, geriatrics, gerontology, internal medicine, pathology, biostatistics and related disciplines. The research areas are listed on the Aims and Scope page.
