About the journal
 Virology publishes the results of basic research in all branches of virology, including the viruses of vertebrates and invertebrates, plants, bacteria, and yeasts/fungi. The journal features articles on the nature of viruses, on the molecular biology of virus multiplication, on molecular pathogenesis, and on molecular aspects of the control and prevention of viral infections. The approaches and techniques used are expected to encompass those of many disciplines, including molecular genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, cell biology, immunology, and morphology.
The journal is a leading resource for current information in the field. In addition to regular articles, Virology features short communications and preliminary reports of important findings. This regular section offers the opportunity to present, in brief form, noteworthy results of works in progress.
Instructions to Authors
SCOPE AND EDITORIAL POLICIES. Virology publishes the results of original basic research on viruses of animals (vertebrate and invertebrate), plants, bacteria, and yeasts/fungi. We invite articles on all areas of research, including virus replication and gene expression, virus structure and assembly (including atomic structure), virus-cell interaction (including cellular changes as a consequence of viral infection), viral pathogenesis and immunity (at both molecular and organismal levels), viral vectors/gene therapy, and molecular aspects of prevention of viral infection. Papers describing results on emerging viruses and unconventional agents will receive special attention. Papers will be published in Virology under one of the following subheadings: Virus Replication/Gene Expression; Virus Structure and Assembly; Virus-Cell Biology; Viral Pathogenesis and Immunity; Gene Therapy/Viral Vectors; Emerging Viruses/Unconventional Agents.
Authors should understand that space limitations make it impossible to publish manuscripts that describe work that does not break new ground conceptually, particularly if the work merely mirrors work done on a closely related virus without adding significant new knowledge, such as partial sequences of related viruses, evolutionary studies based on partial sequences, or descriptions of antigenic relationships and epitopes. Exceptions will be made, however, if these data reveal new insights into the fundamental properties of the virus.
Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the paper does not contain any data that have been or will be submitted for publication elsewhere (including symposium volumes). Submission of a paper implies that the work has been approved by all authors and by the institution(s) where the work was carried out.
Publication of a research article in Virology is taken to imply that the authors are prepared to distribute freely to academic researchers for their own use any materials (e.g., viruses, cells, DNA clones, antibodies) used in the published experiments. Prior to publication, nucleotide sequences and protein sequences must be deposited with GenBank and an accession number obtained for publication in the manuscript. X-ray crystallographic coordinates must be deposited with the Protein Data Bank.
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS. Three copies of the manuscript should be submitted directly to one of the editors who covers the area of expertise, listed at the end of these instructions. Authors may also submit their manuscript directly to the Editorial Office of Virology, 525 B Street, Suite 1900, San Diego, CA 92101-4495, USA, if unsure of the appropriate editor.
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright, see http://authors.elsevier.com). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided after acceptance.
If material from other copyrighted works is included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has preprinted forms for use by authors in these cases: contact Elsevier Global Rights Department, P.O. Box 800, Oxford OX5 1DX, UK; phone: (+44) 1865 843830, fax: (+44) 1865 853333, e-mail: permissions@elsevier.com.
ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OF ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPTS. Authors are requested to transmit the text and art of the manuscript in electronic form, via computer disk, e-mail (virology@elsevier.com), or FTP (ftp.elsevier.com, with username anon and password essd4acc), after all revisions have been incorporated and the manuscript has been accepted for publication. Submission as an e-mail attachment is acceptable provided that all files are included in a single archive the size of which does not exceed 2 megabytes. Hard-copy printouts of the manuscript and art must also be supplied. The manuscript will be edited according to the style of the journal, and authors must read the proofs carefully.
ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL STYLE OF MANUSCRIPTS. Virology publishes two forms of manuscripts: (a) Regular manuscripts, including short but complete studies, and (b) Rapid Communications. Virology also publishes Minireviews. Manuscripts should be written as concisely as possible with minimum repetition between Results and Discussion and Materials and Methods and figure legends. All manuscripts should be double-spaced and figures must be of a quality such that the reviewers can judge the data.
(a) Regular Manuscripts. The organization shown below should be followed:
The Title Page (p. 1) should contain the article title, authors' names and complete affiliations, footnotes to the title, and the address for manuscript correspondence (including e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers).
The Abstract (p. 2) must be a single paragraph that summarizes the main findings of the paper in less than 150 words. After the abstract a list of up to 10 keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included.
The Introduction should be succinct with no subheadings. It should contain material directly relevant to the research that is described and should state clearly the aims of the investigation in the light of related work. Fair citation of the work of others is essential. Authors are asked to use nomenclature approved by the International Committee for the Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) the first time a virus name appears. Commonly used vernacular names may be used after viruses are first correctly identified. Genetic loci should be italicized; protein products of the loci are not italicized.
Results and Discussion may be divided by subheadings or may be combined into one section when substantial redundancy cannot be avoided in two separate sections or if a long discussion is not warranted. A Discussion section should be constructively interpretive and not restate experimental data.
Materials and methods should provide sufficient information to permit the work to be repeated and should be kept concise by referring to previously published procedures. With increasing studies on pathogenicity of viruses, it is important that the provenance of viruses be stated clearly.
Acknowledgments should be brief and should precede the references.
References should include only articles that have been published or are in press. Unpublished data, submitted manuscripts, or personal communications should be cited within the text. Personal communications should be documented by a letter of permission. Abstracts of work presented at meetings many not be cited. Names of authors should be mentioned in the text with year of publication in parentheses. References should be listed alphabetically at the end of the paper. Use the most recent edition of the Chemical Abstracts Service Index for abbreviations of journal titles.

Tables should be printed on separate sheets and should be understandable without reference to the text.
Figure legends should contain a brief description of the experiment performed so that the figure can be understood without reference to the body of the text. However, the legend should not repeat Materials and Methods or contain interpretive statements.
Figures should be in a final form ready for reproduction. Figures intended to be montages of separate panels should be assembled into one figure by the authors. A printer?s quality set of figures, particularly for montages of electron micrographs, can be submitted and labeled as such.Please visit our Web site at http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork for detailed instructions on preparing electronic artwork.
Color figures. One color plate will be published free of charge in each article, provided that color is deemed necessary by the editor. Additional color figures will be charged to the author. To minimize costs to the author, multiple color figures may appear out of numerical sequence.
Publication schedule. Each editor is responsible for having manuscripts reviewed and for making the final decision concerning the disposition. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two reviewers. Authors may suggest the names of four to six potential reviewers. All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible, and an editorial decision is usually reached within 4 to 5 weeks of the manuscript's submission. Accepted manuscripts are usually published with 12?14 weeks of acceptance.
(b) Rapid Communications. A Rapid Communication is a brief, definitive report of highly significant and timely findings in the field. Authors should indicate the submission as such, and if on preliminary inspection the editor believes the paper is of a nature to warrant this category, these papers will receive very rapid review and, if acceptable, will be published within an average of 2 months from receipt. Manuscripts in general should be no longer than 12 double-spaced typewritten pages, containing an abstract of approximately 100 words, a one-paragraph introduction, Results, a concise Discussion section, and an abbreviated Materials and Methods section. A maximum of 20 references and four items for the display of data (any combination of figures and tables) will be allowed.
Rapid Communications will be reviewed within 1 to 2 weeks. No significant revisions will be permitted. PDF proofs will be e-mailed to authors. Corrections must be returned with 48 hours. Rapid communications will appear in a special section at the front of the journal. Rapid communications are distinct from the previously published "short communications." This category is not intended for reporting preliminary studies or brief studies of a descriptive nature.
(c) Minireviews. Virology is instituting a new style of minireviews to bring cutting-edge developments and themes in the field to virologists, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and others interested in the field. The goal of these minireviews is to focus on a sharply defined topic in an interesting area in virology or on recent research (such as two or three papers coming in a specific area of virology). The objective is to make the information accessible to researchers who work in other areas of virology.
Minireviews should be pithy, that is, should not cover the field in question comprehensively but rather address fundamental concepts, challenges, and problems in the field.
The minireviews will be short (2?4 pages). Inclusion of figures/cartoons to illustrate points is strongly encouraged. The minireview should also direct the reader to a few key papers in the field, which come under the heading "Selected Reading." There is no formal Reference section.
In summary, virologists and others, both directly in and outside the area of the minireview, should benefit from reading these minireviews. The minireviews should provide a critical view of the field. Minireviews would also be an appropriate forum for introducing new viewpoints, indicating important issues to be addressed, and challenging concepts.
A copy of the manuscript on disk as well as three printed copies should be sent directly to Dr. Michael Oldstone, The Scripps Research Institute, Department of Neuropharmacology (IMM-6), 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA (telephone: 858-784-8054).
Charges. There are no page charges for publication in Virology.
