Journal of Autoimmune Diseases
(01.01.2005) Journal of Autoimmune Diseases is a new Open Access title. The journal considers reports on clinical and experimental research in autoimmunity.
A new online Journal of Autoimmune Diseases is created as an independent open access journal. In addition to the obvious advantages of the open access, the Journal will practice a double-blind reviewing of the manuscripts, which means that both the reviewers and the authors remain anonymous to each other. We believe that such a policy will reduce the influence of personal and other non-scientific factors on the reviewer's decision making.
Journal of Autoimmune Diseases enables scientists from countries and institutions with limited funds to read the same material as wealthier ones. This has become possible because lower publication costs can be covered by the authors. The advantage for the authors is also obvious: access to their work is much more freely available throughout the world
