A new year, a new look

The European Journal of Immunology is entering its 35th year and we take this opportunity to rejuvenate our journal by giving it a new look. An example is the new cover design. For this issue the image was kindly supplied by Sebastian Amigorena, Institut Curie, Paris. Each issue will be published with different cover pictures and colors, and we invite you to submit artwork for the cover illustration together with your papers. With the aim of improving legibility and orientation, the table of contents has been completely redesigned. Mini-Reviews, Commentaries and Frontline articles - which are those given particularly high ratings by our reviewers - are now prominently highlighted. These articles can be accessed online free-of-charge via the journal's homepage at www.eji.de. To ease navigation through the journal more sections have now been added and include “Antigen processing’ “Immunomodulation”, and “Leukocyte signaling”. Last but not least, “In this Issue” gives insight into selected “must read” papers in the journal. Within the articles, section names are printed on every right-hand page and the DOI is placed conspicuously beside the abstract. The DOI is unique for every article and can be used to cite articles well before the paper is printed. More important than the layout are certainly the content and the speed at which articles are made available to the scientific community. Online submission was introduced last year and has allowed us to speed up the decision-making process for submitted articles. We are proud of being able to offer advanced online publication (via WileyIntersciences EarlyView ®) within 4 weeks of acceptance of a manuscript. EarlyView® articles are now available in PubMed before print publication and thus are fully searchable. Authors are informed as soon as their paper has been released online. We hope that you will enjoy this new version of EJI and that the recently introduced features which we have just summarized will encourage you to submit your best papers to our journal and to recommend your institutes to subscribe to EJI. Lise Leclercq and Ian Newman (Editors).

Immunology and Infectious Diseases

The aim and scope of this journal, as stated in the first issue, is to be a frontrank international medium for communication in the broad field of immunity and covering all aspects of the relationship between the immune system and microbial infections. Articles should cover the study of both immunity and infection, their interconnection, and wider implications. The editors hope to appeal to a multidisciplinary readership, including clinicians, immunologists, pediatricians, medical microbiologists, pathologists, epidemiologists, and pharmacologists. Twenty countries are represented by authors in the first six issues, with only 18 articles from the United States. The editorial board is composed of distinguished scientists, although several do not have credentials in infectious diseases. The editor stresses rapid publication, aiming for papers to be accepted within 8 to 12 weeks of receipt and published within 12 weeks of acceptance. Of the 61 articles in the first six issues, 29 met
