PLoS Pathogens Impact Factor, Indexing, Ranking 2024

PLOS Pathogens is a community-driven and Open Access journal publishing ground-breaking work that significantly advances our understanding of pathogen biology or pathogen-host interactions.We welcome outstanding original research covering the full breadth of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi, and prions, as well as co-infections and microbial communities in disease. The journal publishes work with a strong emphasis on discovery that informs our understanding of pathogenesis or pathogen biology. Emerging topics and early observations that are of urgent importance or represent a dramatic step forward in understanding are also encouraged. Topics can include, but are not limited to, molecular and cellular host responses to infection, cell biology of infection, pathogen evolution, adaptive and innate immunity to infection, microbiome and pathogen interactions, reservoirs and emerging pathogens, genomics and gene regulation, structural biology, therapeutics and drug resistance, pathogen-associated cancers, and vaccines.We publish commissioned reviews, opinions, and editorials, and welcome primary research submissions including laboratory and clinical studies. Submissions that report computational analysis or resources along with experimental validation and meet the journal’s criteria for advance, utility, validation, and availability, will also be considered.

PLOS Pathogens 是一本由社区驱动并实行开放获取的期刊，致力于发表具有里程碑意义的作品，这些作品显著推进了我们对病原体生物学或病原体-宿主相互作用的认知。我们欢迎杰出的原创研究，涵盖病原体的全貌，包括病毒、细菌、寄生虫、真菌和朊病毒，以及疾病中的共感染和微生物群落。该期刊强调发现，旨在增进我们对发病机制或病原体生物学的理解。那些具有紧迫重要性或代表对理解有重大突破的新兴主题和早期观察结果也受到鼓励。研究主题可以包括但不限于感染宿主的分子和细胞反应、感染的细胞生物学、病原体进化、感染的对适应性免疫和固有免疫、微生物组与病原体相互作用、储存库和新兴病原体、基因组学和基因调控、结构生物学、治疗学和耐药性、与病原体相关的癌症以及疫苗。我们出版委托评论、观点和社论，并欢迎实验室和临床研究的原始研究投稿。那些报告计算分析或资源，并伴随实验验证，且符合期刊对前瞻性、实用性、验证性和可用性的标准投稿，也将被考虑。
