JAPANESE JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES

The Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases (ISSN 1344-6304) is a bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal published by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Tokyo, Japan, dedicated to advancing knowledge in the field of infectious diseases. As an SCI-indexed publication, it serves as a platform for disseminating original research, comprehensive reviews, and clinical case reports that address critical topics such as pathogen characterization, epidemiology, vaccine development, and antimicrobial resistance. While the journal maintains a stable quality standard with an impact factor hovering around 1.0 in recent years, it is not explicitly categorized within the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal ranking system. Operating under a non-open access model, the journal places a distinct emphasis on practical applicability and clinical value, with a particular focus on infectious disease challenges in Asia, especially Japan. Consequently, it offers a viable publication avenue for researchers engaged in regional infectious disease studies, providing a competitive yet accessible environment for scholars seeking to contribute to the global understanding of these critical health issues.
