Virology Journal

Virology Journal is proud to announce our collaboration with the Global Virus Network (GVN), a premier international coalition of medical virology centres, to further our shared mission of advancing the global understanding of viruses and viral diseases.

Through this partnership, Virology Journal aims to amplify the impact of cutting-edge research by providing a platform for the GVN by publishing a series of commentaries on the theme of pandemic prevention. We look forward to the enriched content and insights this collaboration will bring to our readers and the broader scientific community.

We would also like to invite our readers to attend the GVN Annual Conference, which will take place in Durban, South Africa, from September 16–18, 2024. Your involvement will not only enhance your own knowledge and professional network but will also contribute to the global effort to combat viral diseases. Additional information and registration for in-person and virtual attendance can be found here.

A peer-reviewed journal would not survive without the generous time and insightful comments of the reviewers, whose efforts often go unrecognized. Although final decisions are always editorial, they are greatly facilitated by the deeper technical knowledge, scientific insights, understanding of social consequences, and passion that reviewers bring to our deliberations. For these reasons, the Editors and staff of Virology Journal would like to publicly acknowledge our top peer reviewers of 2023.
