About the Journal of Current Viruses and Treatment Methodologies
The Journal of Current Viruses and Treatment Methodologies (JVAT) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal of research on viruses and on the methods used to diagnose, prevent and treat the diseases they cause. It is published by Open Access Pub.
Purpose and readership
Virology, and the methods built on it
JVAT serves virologists, laboratory and clinical researchers, and public-health scientists who need sound evidence on how viruses behave and how the diseases they cause can be detected, prevented and treated.
JVAT publishes research on viruses and on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of viral disease. Mechanistic virology is a core area of the journal, and the journal also considers work on epidemiology, diagnostics, vaccines, antiviral therapy and the clinical and public-health management of viral infections.
Its aims are to publish methodologically sound research that advances understanding of viruses, to report methods and evidence that improve how viral disease is detected and treated, and to make the results freely available to everyone who can use them.
The journal welcomes contributions from molecular biology, immunology, structural biology, bioinformatics, clinical medicine and public health. The Aims and Scope page describes the research areas the journal considers.

Members and profiles
Research interests and affiliations are given on each member's profile.
Editorial responsibility
Each manuscript is assigned to an editor, and reviewers with relevant expertise are invited to assess it. Editorial decisions are independent of the article processing charge and of any fee-relief inquiry. Editors with a conflict of interest are recused from handling the manuscript.
Peer review
Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. All submissions undergo initial editorial screening. Manuscripts that meet the journal's scope and minimum requirements proceed to independent peer review. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts. Editorial decisions are based on scope, scientific quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, reporting quality, and relevance to the journal. The full process is set out in the Editorial Policies.
