Scope/Description:

Virus Evolution is a new Open Access journal focusing on the long-term evolution of viruses, viruses as a model system for studying evolutionary processes, viral molecular epidemiology and environmental virology. The aim of the journal is to provide a forum for original research papers, reviews, commentaries and a venue for in-depth discussion on the topics relevant to virus evolution. The journal will cover but not be limited to the following four topics: 1.Long-term evolution of viruses and virus taxonomy, host-virus co-evolution, co-phylogeny of viruses and hosts, paleovirology, and genus-level phylogenetics, origins of viruses and virus genes, and evolution of virus genome structure. 2.Viruses as model systems for studying evolutionary processes, experimental evolution studies, virus population genetics, virus evolutionary theory, evolution of mutation rates and lethal mutagenesis, virus robustness and evolvability, virulence evolution, virus life history evolution, phage systems and phage therapy. 3.Virus molecular epidemiology including phylodynamics, reconstructing and tracking virus spread and transmission using virus genomes, forensic analysis of virus transmission, cross-species transmission, wildlife virus disease, evolution and spread of anti-virus drug resistance, evolution of immune escape and antigenetic drift, vaccine escape, and virus evolution within infected individuals. 4.Environmental virology including metagenomics, virus discovery, virus molecular ecology, marine virology and virus microbiome.

Impact Factor

Impact factor (IF) is a scientometric factor based on the yearly average number of citations on articles published by a particular journal in the last two years. A journal impact factor is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field. Find out more: What is a good impact factor?


III. Other Science Influence Indicators

Any impact factor or scientometric indicator alone will not give you the full picture of a science journal. There are also other factors such as H-Index, Self-Citation Ratio, SJR, SNIP, etc. Researchers may also consider the practical aspect of a journal such as publication fees, acceptance rate, review speed.

Virus Evolution
H-Index

The h-index is an author-level metric that attempts to measure both the productivity and citation impact of the publications of a scientist or scholar. The index is based on the set of the scientist's most cited papers and the number of citations that they have received in other publications
