As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
COVID-19 Announcement
BMC Series Focus Issue
November: Diabetes
In support of World Diabetes Day on 14th November, this BMC Series focus issue places the spotlight on research advancing knowledge and patient care in diabetes. Our open-access content is available permanently, and highlights include genomics, neuroscience, and public health topics.
Announcing the launch of In Review
BMC Immunology, in partnership with Research Square, is now offering In Review. Authors choosing this free optional service will be able to:
- Share their work with fellow researchers to read, comment on, and cite even before publication
- Showcase their work to funders and others with a citable DOI while it is still under review
- Track their manuscript - including seeing when reviewers are invited, and when reports are received
Featured article: Simulation Modeling for Immunologists

In this article, authors present a freely available software package for the R programming language called Dynamical Systems Approach to Immune Response Modeling (DSAIRM). This is aimed at researchers with little or no coding experience to aid in their understanding of literature involving simulation modeling and to employ in their own research.

Aims and scope
BMC Immunology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in molecular, cellular, tissue-level, organismal, functional, and developmental aspects of the immune system as well as clinical studies and animal models of human diseases.
The journal welcomes submissions in these broad areas of research:
Cellular immunology and immune regulation
Clinical immunology: transplants, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency and vaccines
Immunity to infection and tumours
Immunogenetics, immunogenomics and systems immunology
Allergy and hypersensitivity
Innate Immunity and inflammation
Immunometabolism
