The aim of Trends in Immunology is to monitor advances in the various fields of immunology, and bring together the results in
a readable and lucid form. Review articles form the backbone of each monthly issue, complemented by Opinion articles, which are a forum
for discussion of more speculative topics or new hypotheses. Review and Opinion articles, together with the other sections of the journal
(Research Update, News and Comment and Forum), ensure that Trends in Immunology provides the reader with a complete picture
of the diverse field of immunology. This broad perspective makes Trends in Immunology an invaluable information source for researchers,
lecturers and students alike.
Trends in Immunology helps to link developments in basic and clinical immunology, and is
now established as a top-ranked monthly review journal in its field, according to ISI's Science Citation Index for immunology
journals. (Year 2004 impact factor 13.075).
Trends in Immunology Online is also available, to complement and expand upon
the print edition.

Ethics in Publishing: General Statement
The Editor(s)
and Publisher of this Journal believe that there are fundamental principles underlying scholarly or professional publishing. While this
may not amount to a formal 'code of conduct', these fundamental principles with respect to the authors' paper are that the paper should:
i) be the authors' own original work, which has not been previously published elsewhere, ii) reflect the authors' own research and analysis
and do so in a truthful and complete manner, iii) properly credit the meaningful contributions of co-authors and co-researchers, iv)
not be submitted to more than one journal for consideration, and v) be appropriately placed in the context of prior and existing research.
Of equal importance are ethical guidelines dealing with research methods and research funding, including issues dealing with informed
consent, research subject privacy rights, conflicts of interest, and sources of funding. While it may not be possible to draft a 'code'
that applies adequately to all instances and circumstances, we believe it useful to outline our expectations of authors and procedures
that the Journal will employ in the event of questions concerning author conduct. With respect to conflicts of interest, the Publisher
now requires authors to declare any conflicts of interest that relate to papers accepted for publication in this Journal. A conflict
of interest may exist when an author or the author's institution has a financial or other relationship with other people or organizations
that may inappropriately influence the author's work. A conflict can be actual or potential and full disclosure to the Journal is the
safest course. All submissions to the Journal must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential
conflict of interest. The Journal may use such information as a basis for editorial decisions and may publish such disclosures if they
are believed to be important to readers in judging the manuscript. A decision may be made by the Journal not to publish on the basis
of the declared conflict.
