The importance of the virology field has been increasing in number of academic publications and has never been more exciting as a research area and more relevant to human health or present in the media due to the economic impact (animal loss) and ecological issues regarding the recent outbreaks impacted by viral agents.

There is high number of well-established virology journals already in existence and I must confess I caught myself reflecting on the question if really need another journal devoted to this topic. The answer is yes when I realize the niche for this new journal. To achieve that we plan launch special issues and also use a strength of guarantee the quality of manuscripts are published by the rigor of its review process. While in major journals the publication can take months for acceptance to publish we will be very quick for a feedback.

The differential goal of the scope is encouraging publication in emerging themes virology such as Zika virus research, development of new therapy options to the most current viral infections (human and veterinarian) and viral vector system for gene therapy (“vectorology”), besides other major topics.

All the members of the editorial board and I, spread our welcome to this new journal and look forward to catching from your research. I expect virology research journal to become a hotspot for the fast and reasonable publication of high-quality virology manuscripts from scientists around the world.
