ENFERMEDADES INFECCIOSAS Y MICROBIOLOGIA CLINICA

Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica (ISSN 0213-005X) is a peer-reviewed monthly journal published by Elsevier in Spain, dedicated to advancing research in infectious diseases and clinical microbiology. The journal serves as a vital platform for disseminating high-quality studies on pathogen characterization, the diagnosis and treatment of infectious conditions, epidemiological trends, and antimicrobial resistance, with a particular emphasis on research conducted in Spain and the broader Latin American region. Indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the publication holds a moderate impact factor within the field of infectious diseases, as reflected in the Journal Citation Reports, and is typically categorized in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal ranking system in the broad medical sciences category. While the journal maintains a solid reputation and significant influence within the Spanish-speaking academic community, its relatively lower impact factor compared to top-tier international journals may limit its global visibility. Consequently, it remains an appropriate venue for researchers focused on these specific clinical and microbiological domains, particularly those working within the Ibero-American context, though authors should be mindful of variable review timelines and acceptance rates driven by competitive submission volumes.
