About the journal
Virus Research provides a means of rapid publication for original papers on fundamental research concerning virus structure, replication, and pathogenesis. These include reports describing virus morphology, the function and antigenic analysis of virus structural components, virus genome structure and expression, analysis of virus replication processes, effects of viruses on their host cells, including oncogene activation and transduction, neoplastic transformation, and the pathogenesis of virus infections including tumour induction. The journal also publishes review articles on topics of current interest and occasional book reviews and meeting reports.
Instructions to Authors
Submission of a paper to Virus Research implies that it has not previously been published (except in abstract form) and that it is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. The authors are requested to transfer their copyright to the Publisher, to ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. Papers and original figures should be submitted together with three copies and accompanied by a letter of transmittal to one of the Editors.

Submission of Manuscripts The preferred medium of final submission to the accepting Editor is on disk with accompanying reviewed and revised manuscript (see ''Electronic manuscripts'' below).
Manuscripts in English should be typed on one side of the paper only with double spacing and wide margins, and should have a separate title page bearing author(s) names, affiliations and full postal addresses. Refer to the corresponding author by asterisk (*). Authors must include the following contact details on the title page of their submitted manuscript: name; full postal address; fax; E-mail.
Research articles should generally not exceed 25 typewritten pages and should be divided into summary (on a separate sheet and not exceeding 200 words, followed by 3-6 key words), Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements and References.
Short Communications, approx. 12 typewritten pages, with a summary and key words but without section headings.
Review articles on topics of current interest in Virology will be published. While some authors will be invited to write reviews, others wishing to contribute a review article are invited to contact Dr. B.W.J. Mahy at the address given above.
Book reviews or meeting reports will be published following invitation from, or by authors first contacting one of the Editors.
Electronic manuscripts Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need for the rekeying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors and resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs. The preferred storage medium is a 3.5 inch disk in MS-DOS format, although other systems are welcome, e.g., NEC and Macintosh (in this case, save your file in the usual manner, do not use the option 'save in MS-DOS format'). Please do not split the article into separate files (title page as one file, text as another, etc.). Ensure that the letter 'l' and digit '1' (also letter 'O' and digit '0') have been used properly, and structure your article (tabs, indents, etc.) consistently. Characters not available on your wordprocessor (Greek letters, mathematical symbols, etc.) should not be left open but indicated by a unique code (e.g. gralpha, @, c , etc., for the Greek letter a). Such codes should be used consistently throughout the entire text. Please make a list of such codes and provide a key. Do not allow your wordprocessor to introduce word splits and do not use a 'justified' layout. Please adhere strictly to the general instructions on style arrangement and, in particular, the reference style of the journal. It is very important that you save your file in the wordprocessor format. If your wordprocessor features the option to save files ''in flat ASCII'' please do not use it. Format your disk correctly and ensure that only the relevant file (one complete article only) is on the disk. Also, specify the type of computer and wordprocessing package used and label the disk with your name and the name of the file on the disk. After final acceptance, your disk plus one, final, printed and exactly matching version (as printout) should be submitted together to the accepting editor. It is important that the file on disk and the printout are identical. Both will then be forwarded by the editor to Elsevier. Further information may be obtained from the Publisher.
Tables should be typed double-spaced on separate sheets, numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals, and only contain horizontal lines. A short descriptive title should appear above each table, with possible legend and footnotes (identified with a, b, c, etc.) below.
Illustrations must be submitted in triplicate and reach the editor in a form and condition suitable for reproduction. The illustrations must bear the author's name and be numbered in Arabic numerals according to the sequence of their appearance in the text, where they are to be referred to as Fig. 1, Figs. 2-4, etc. Line drawings should be in black ink on drawing or tracing paper. Lettering should be clear and of adequate size to be legible after reduction. Labelling of professional standard is preferable but, if this is not possible, lettering should be done in fine pencil.
Photographs, electron micrographs, etc., should be supplied as clear black and white prints on glossy paper, and have as much contrast as possible. The degree of reduction will be determined by the Publisher. If figures are not to be reduced their format should not exceed 13.0.20 cm. (Further instructions may be found on p. 6 of the booklet Information for Contributors to Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, which is available free of charge from: BBA Editorial Secretariat, P.O. Box 1345, 1000 BH Amsterdam, the Netherlands.)
Each illustration must have a legend, which should be typed with double spacing on a separate page and begin with the number of the illustration it refers to.
Colour figures will be reproduced free of charge. However, the decision to publish figures in colour will be left to the Editors' discretion.
Amino acid sequences, gene maps, etc., should be submitted as figures.
References should be assembled in alphabetical order on a separate sheet. In the text they should be referred to by name and year (Harvard System). More than one paper from the same author in the same year must be identified by the letters a, b, c, etc., placed after the year of publication. In the text, when referring to a work by more than two authors, the name of the first author should be given followed by et al. Literature references must consist of names and initials of all authors, year, title of paper referred to, abbreviated title of periodical, volume number and first and last page numbers of the paper. Periodicals, books and multi-author books should accord with the following examples:
Groen, W.S. and Shaw, R.D., 1992. Psoralen preparation of antigenically intact noninfectious rotavirus particles. J. Virol. Methods 38, 93-102.
Mahy, B.W.J. and Kolakofsky, D., 1987. The Biology of Negative Strand Viruses, 436 pp. Elsevier, Amsterdam.

Abbreviations of journal titles should conform to those adopted by the List of Serial Title Word Abbreviations (available from International Serials Data System, 20 rue Bachaumont, 75002 Paris, France; ISBN 2-904939-02-8). This journal should be referred to as Virus Res. Please note that the responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of literature references lies solely with the author(s).
Proofs will be sent to the first-named author of an article, unless an alternative is requested on the title page of the manuscript. They should be checked carefully and returned by airmail within 2 days of receipt. Only printer's errors may be corrected: no changes in or additions to the edited manuscript will be accepted. The Publisher will proceed if proofs are not received on time.
Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are sent back to us in one communication. Subsequent corrections will not be possible, so please ensure your first sending is complete.
Page charges will not be made.
Reprints may be ordered by filling in and returning to the Publisher the order form sent to the authors: per contribution 25 reprints will be made available free of charge.
Virus nomenclature. Each virus should be identified at least once, preferably in the Introduction or Materials and Methods section, using formal family, genus, and species terms and where possible by using a precise strain designation term as developed by an internationally recognized specialty group or culture collection. Please note that the word type is not used before species designations that include a number. Formal terms used for virus families, genera, and species should be those approved by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV): Van Regenmortel, M.H.V., Fauquet, C.M., Bishop, D.H.L., Carstens, E.B., Estes, M.K., Lemon, S.M., McGeoch, D.J., Maniloff, J., Mayo, M.A., Pringle, C.R., and Wickner, R.B. (2000) Virus Taxonomy, Classification and Nomenclature of Viruses. Seventh ICTV Report, Academic Press. This volume also includes standard abbreviations for species. Once formal taxonomic names have been given in a paper, vernacular terms may be used.
Formal taxonomic nomenclature
In formal taxonomic usage, the first letters of virus order, family, subfamily, genus and species names are capitalized and the terms are printed in italics. Other words in the species names are not capitalized unless they are proper nouns or parts of nouns, for example West Nile virus. In formal usage, the name of the taxon should precede the term for the taxonomic unit; for example; "the family Paramyxoviridae," "the genus Morbillivirus." The following represent examples of full formal taxonomic terminology:
1. Order Mononegavirales, family Rhabdoviridae, genus Lyssavirus, species Rabies virus.
2. Family Poxviridae, subfamily Chordopoxvirinae, genus Orthopoxvirus, species Vaccinia virus.
3. Family Picornaviridae, genus Enterovirus, species Poliovirus.
4. Family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus, species Tomato spotted wilt virus.
Vernacular taxonomic nomenclature
In formal vernacular usage, virus order, family, subfamily, genus and species names are written in lower case Roman script: they are not capitalized, nor are they printed in italics or underlined. In informal usage, the name of the taxon should not include the formal suffix, and the name of the taxon should follow the term for the taxonomic unit; for example "the picornavirus family, the enterovirus genus." One particular source of ambiguity in vernacular nomenclature lies in the common use of the same root terms in formal family, genus or species names. Imprecision stems from not being able to easily identify in vernacular usage which hierarchical level is being cited. For example, the vernacular name "paramyxovirus" might refer to the family Paramyxoviridae, or one species in the genus Respirovirus, such as Human parainfluenza virus 1. The solution in vernacular usage is to avoid "jumping" hierarchical levels and to add taxon identification wherever needed. For example, when citing the taxonomic placement of Human parainfluenza virus 1, taxon identification should always be added: "Human Parainfluenza virus 1 is a species in the genus Respirovirus, family Paramyxoviridae. In this example, as is usually the case, adding the information that this virus is also a member of the subfamily Paramyxovirinae and the order Mononegavirales is unnecessary.
It should be stressed that italics and capital initial letters need be used only if the species name refers to the taxonomic category. When the name refers to viral objects such as virions present in a preparation or seen in an electron micrograph, italics and capital initial letters are not needed and the names are written in lower case Roman script. This also applies when the names are used in adjectival form, for instance tobacco mosaic virus polymerase. The use of italics when referring to the name of a species as a taxonomic entity signals that it has the status of an officially recognized species. The 7th ICTV Report (Van Regenmortel, M.H.V. et al., 2000, Academic Press) should be consulted to ascertain which names have been approved as official species names. When the taxonomic status of a new putative species is uncertain or its position within an established genus has not been clarified, it is considered a tentative species and its name is not written in italics although its initial letter is capitalized.
