Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases
SNIP measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.
SJR is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and a qualitative measure of the journal’s impact.
The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years.

To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2016 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years.

Description
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases is an international, peer-reviewed scientific
journal. It publishes original research papers, short
communications, state-of-the-art mini-reviews, letters to the editor, clinical-case
studies, announcements of pertinent international meetings, and
editorials.
The journal covers a broad spectrum and brings together various disciplines,
for example, zoology, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, mathematical
modelling, veterinary and human medicine. Multidisciplinary approaches and the
use of conventional and novel methods/methodologies (in the field and in the
laboratory) are crucial for deeper understanding of the natural processes and
human behaviour/activities that result in human or animal diseases and in economic
effects of ticks and tick-borne pathogens. Such understanding is essential for
management of tick populations and tick-borne diseases in an effective and environmentally
acceptable manner. The journal covers the following topics:
Ticks: biosystematics/taxonomy, morphology, evolution, ecology, physiology/biochemistry,
behaviour, molecular biology, genomics/proteomics, and control
Ecology/ecoepidemiology of tick-borne diseases: vector ticks and reservoir
hosts, the mechanisms and processes determining their abundance and distribution,
the occurrence and prevalence of pathogens in tick and tick-host populations,
tick-host-pathogen interactions at the ecological level and their dependence
upon environmental factors, natural focality, and risk assessments of exposure
to ticks and the occurrence of tick-borne diseases
Tick-borne pathogens: viruses, bacteria, and parasites, their biology in
ticks and vertebrates, pathogen-tick and pathogen-host interactions on the molecular
and cellular levels, transmission, coinfection, genomics/proteomics, and biosystematics/taxonomy
Tick-borne diseases in domestic animals and wildlife: epidemiology, diagnosis,
immunology, treatment, vaccination, control/management, and economics
Tick-borne human diseases: epidemiology, diagnosis, immunology, treatment,
vaccination, socioeconomics, and public health
In addition, methodological papers on all these areas will be published as well
as timely reviews on vectors and vector-borne diseases in which tick biology
or tick-borne diseases are addressed.
