The International Alliance for Primary Immunodeficiency Societies (IAPIDS) and Rockefeller University Press (RUP) entered a partnership to launch Journal of Human Immunity (JHI), the official journal of IAPIDS, in December 2024. This collaboration will ensure that JHI emerges as the destination for exciting research into human immunity, with a particular focus on inborn errors of immunity.
JHI publishes research articles, reviews, perspectives, letters, editorials, and commentaries that provide novel insights into the physiology and pathology of human immunity through the study of genetic defects and their phenocopies, including the study of leukocytes and other cells. Its focus on human inborn errors of immunity encompasses conditions as diverse as infection, autoimmunity, autoinflammation, malignancy, and allergy. Human inborn errors of immunity include monogenic disorders with complete (Mendelian traits) or incomplete (non-Mendelian) penetrance. The journal welcomes other types of genetic basis (e.g., digenic) if causality is genetically unquestionable or if the immunological mechanism is documented (or both). JHI will publish descriptions of new genotypes, immunological phenotypes, and clinical phenotypes, which may result from hitherto understudied ancestries or environments.
“The Journal of Human Immunity represents a bold step forward in advancing our study of human immunity through the lens of the growing list of genetic defects and their multiple consequences,” said IAPIDS President Elie Haddad, a clinician-researcher in pediatric immunology, full professor at the University of Montreal, and head of the Immunology and Rheumatology department at CHU Ste-Justine. “IAPIDS is proud to partner with Rockefeller University Press to establish JHI as the global leader in the field, ensuring equitable access to groundbreaking research through its open access model.”
