目標病毒（ISSN 1999-4915）是一個開放獲取期刊，為病毒研究提供了一個高級論壇。它出版評論，定期研究論文，通訊，會議報告和簡短筆記。我們的目標是鼓勵科學家盡可能詳細地公布他們的實驗和理論結(jié)果，論文的篇幅沒有限制，必須提供完整的實驗細節(jié)，以便重現(xiàn)結(jié)果。我們還鼓勵出版關(guān)于病毒學界感興趣的主題的及時評論和評論，并在“新聞和觀點”部分中提供病毒學文獻的重點。關(guān)于計算和實驗程序的全部細節(jié)的電子文件或軟件，如果無法以正常方式發(fā)布，可以作為補充材料存放學科領域病毒，病毒，病毒，病毒學，病毒學，病毒，病毒感染，病毒學家病毒分類類病毒制劑，類病毒，朊病毒噬菌體病毒流行病學疫苗，病毒免疫學抗病毒藥物，抗病毒治療，抗病毒藥物開發(fā)病毒起源，病毒進化病毒結(jié)構(gòu)，基因組病毒動力學、數(shù)學模型和病毒感染模擬模型病毒（ISSN 1999-4915；coden:virubr）是MDPI每月在線出版的開放存取病毒學期刊。開放存取：讀者免費，出版費用由作者或其機構(gòu)支付。高可視性：通過科學引文索引擴展（科學網(wǎng)）、醫(yī)學在線（PubMed）和其他數(shù)據(jù)庫進行索引。PubMed Central提供全文。快速出版：稿件經(jīng)過同行評審，并在提交后約36天向作者提供第一個決定；在8天內(nèi)接受出版（2015年本雜志發(fā)表論文的中值）。社論部分強調(diào)了病毒學家的重要發(fā)展，并由該領域的主要專家撰寫。

AimsViruses (ISSN 1999-4915) is an open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies of viruses. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, conference reports and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. We also encourage the publication of timely reviews and commentaries on topics of interest to the virology community and feature highlights from the virology literature in the ''News and Views'' section.Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary materialSubject Areasvirus, viruses, virion, virology, virological, viral, viral infections, virologistvirus classificationvirus-like agents, viroids, prionsbacteriophageviral epidemiologyvaccines, viral immunologyantiviral drugs, antiviral therapy, antiviral drug developmentorigin of viruses, viral evolutionvirus structures, genomesvirus dynamics, mathematical and simulation models of virus infectionsViruses (ISSN 1999-4915; CODEN: VIRUBR) is an open access journal of virology published monthly online by MDPI.Open Access - free for readers, with publishing fees paid by authors or their institutions.High visibility: indexed by the Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science), MEDLINE (PubMed) and other databases. Full-text available in PubMed Central.Rapid publication: manuscripts are peer-reviewed and a first decision provided to authors approximately 36 days after submission; acceptance to publication is undertaken in 8 days (median values for papers published in this journal in 2015).Editorial Section highlighting important developments to a broad audience of virologists and written by leading experts in the field.
