Call for papers for Virology: Research and Treatment from Dr Wenzhe Ho

Dear Colleagues:

I am writing to cordially invite you to submit your next research papers to Virology: Research and Treatment, an open access journal that publishes peer-reviewed primary research and review articles on all aspects of viruses. It is our aim to provide readers with the most current information in human, animal, insect, plan, and bacterial/fungal viruses. The journal offers thorough peer review, online submission and immediate publication on acceptance. All research articles published in the journal are immediately and permanently available online for all to read and use free of charge.

Given your area of research in virology, I hope that you will consider submitting your next research manuscript to Virology: Research and Treatment. Authors who submit their manuscript to Virology: Research and Treatment can monitor the status of their paper through the author interface (My LA).

What is the advantage to you of publishing in Virology: Research and Treatment?
  • Full open access: everyone can read your article and you retain copyright in it
  • Publishing decision within 2 weeks of submission
  • Your paper will not be rejected due to lack of space and will be published immediately on acceptance
  • Prompt and fair peer review from two expert peer reviewers
  • Frequent updates on your paper’s status
  • Friendly responsive staff
Aims and scope:

Virology: Research and Treatment is a journal that publishes papers in all aspects of virus research and treatment in humans, animals, plants, bacteria and fungi.

What a previous author said:
"The communication between your staff and me has been terrific. Whenever progress is made with the manuscript, I receive notice. Quite honestly, I've never had such complete communication with a journal."
In summary:

The advantages of a younger journal such as Virology: Research and Treatment are numerous but in essence allow us a greater flexibility and responsiveness to authors and readers that older journals cannot match.

Next steps:

Yours sincerely,
Dr Wenzhe Ho

Editor-in-Chief
Virology: Research and Treatment
